- Description
- NASAs GSFC intends to issue a sole source Request for Proposal (NNG15520138R) to CIMEL Electronique for several models of the CIMEL 318 (CE318) family Sun and Sky-Scanning Spectral Radiometers (sun photometer) and necessary parts for the repair, maintenance, and upgrade of the sun photometers; tracking robot; and advanced control box. These sun photometers monitor aerosol optical properties and provide uniform database for long term characterization of aerosol optical properties within NASAs global climate change program.This requirement is pursuant to 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) Only one Responsible Source. The network has been in existence 20+ years, and currently no other source is available within the market to provide instrumentation that meets the Governments needs, other than CIMEL. The period of performance for this contract will be for five (5) years. The AERONET Project has grown due to the standardization on all aspects of the program. This includes delta processing, data measurement protocols, calibration procedures and scientific equipment used. With respect to the latter, one fundamental radiometer produced by CIMEL Electronique, the CE318, has been the only instrument used in and designed to the specific requirements of the AERONET program. The Government intends 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 no later than 4:30PM EST July 29, 2015. 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.
