- Description
- NASA intends to extend Contract NNA09DB39C with Jacobs Technology, Inc. on a sole-source basis pursuant to 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source. The objective is to extend the performance period for six additional months. The current Contractor provides support for researchers from Ames, other NASA Centers, other Federal agencies, and from the commercial community for their testing programs at Ames Research Center (ARC) under Aerospace Testing and Facilities Operation and Maintenance (ATOM). The principal purpose of this contract is to provide operation, maintenance, repair, and support of ground-based Aerospace facilities at ARC. The Contractor provides support for facilities operated by the Centers Wind Tunnel Operations Division (Code AO) of the Aeronautics Directorate (Code A) and in the Thermo-Physics Facilities Branch (Code TSF) of the Exploration Technology Directorate (Code T). The two primary facilities operated by these organizations, and which this contract will support, are the Unitary Plan Wind Tunnels and the ArcJet Complex. These facilities have been identified for tests to support a vast variety and number of experiments including NASA, military and commercial programs both classified and unclassified. The extension will extend the period of performance of the current contract, NNA09DB39C, for a period of six months, from July 1, through December 31, 2014, and increase the contract value accordingly. The current contractor, Jacobs Technology, Inc. is considered the only contractor that can meet ARCs needs given the short period of performance for the extension.Awarding a six-month contract to another source, at the same time as the recompetition of the follow-on is in process, would result in substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Governments requirements and not allow for a sufficient phase-in period, thereby affecting the continuity of services and causing unacceptable delays in fulfilling ARCs requirements. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. Notwithstanding this stated intent, interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact no later than 4:00 PM. PST on May 26, 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. Questions regarding the extension can be sent via email to Starr L. Strong at Starr.L.Strong@nasa.gov. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The installation Ombudsman is: Deborah L.
