- Description
- NASA/LaRC has a requirement for NASA Share of Operating Costs of National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences (BBCSS). NASA/LaRC intends to purchase the items from National Academy of Sciences. NAS BBCSS is a standing board of the National Research Council, the operating arm of The National Academies, and is sponsored by a coordinated consortium of several federal agencies, among other organizations. As part of this consortium, NASA is required to provide its share of the costs of the activity. The unique placement of BBCSS in the National Academies allows the Board to assess and understand issues relating to the behavioral, cognitive, and sensory sciences; involves academic research scientists on policy issues; provides for cross-disciplinary inquiry; and serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas and information, and advances understanding of the behavioral science across the entire Government and provides participating Agencies independent advice and counsel on Agency-level concerns. No other entity is in a position to bring together the relevant federal agencies to address human/systems interaction in such a broad Government-wide manner. NASA requires the benefits offered by BBCSS and is a full participant in its efforts. 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 08/08/2016. 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 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/pub_library/Omb.html.
