- Description
- NASA/LARC has a requirement for highly specialized post-launch sustaining and non-sustaining engineering services, including flight software maintenance, anomaly resolution and other satellite payload support, reception of Cloud Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) X-band data transmission and processing, archival, and delivery of Level 0 data to LaRC. NASA/LARC intends to negotiate with Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corporation (BATC) to procure the required services. BATC developed the CALIPSO LIDAR system and associated control systems and is the only source with the unique knowledge and expertise needed to provide the required services (FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will Satisfy Agency Requirements). The Government estimates a five-year period of performance. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on March 12, 2014. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/p ub_library/Omb.html.
