- Description
- NASA GRC has a requirement for the upgrade of the infrastructure supporting its displays and exhibits located at the Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC) in Cleveland, Ohio. NASA GRC intends to award a sole source contract with the GLSC for the needed upgrades. NASA GRC currently has an agreement with The Great Lakes Science Center to act as its "official visitor" center and houses its public displays and exhibits. This visitor center allows the public to be educated on NASA accomplishments and activities regarding aeronautics and space programs. In this agreement, NASA is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of displays and exhibits and the surrounding support infrastructure where its exhibits and displays are staged for public viewing. The current GLSC infrastructure directly supporting NASA displays and exhibits is in need of upgrades and maintenance to improve its presentation to the public and insure its overall functionality and safety to the public. The planned upgrades include removal of and installation of carpet, installation of drywall, painting, replacement of acoustic panels, installation of flame resistant curtains, and other needed upgrades. As the official NASA "visitor center" housing its exhibits and displays, as well as the entity responsible for the day to day operations of the Science Center, GLSC is in a unique position to effectively manage the needed upgrades, coordinate exhibit closure, provide access to exhibit space, provide storage and removal of onsite material, as well as provide the needed safety to Science Center visitors. GLSC is considered to be the only contractor capable of effectively incorporating these upgrades into the existing building infrastructure without requiring additional NASA coordination, oversight, interaction or adverse impact to GLSC's daily operations. To contract with other than the GLSC will, in all likelihood, cause additional expenses, coordination concerns, and impact to daily operations. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Procedures set forth and FAR Part 13. The Sole Source is under the authority of FAR Reference 13.106-1(b)1. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 12:30 p.m. local time on Monday February 29, 2016. 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 NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html
