- Description
- NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) has a requirement for the delivery and installation of a VLBI Global Observing System (VGOS) antenna at the Fortaleza Geodetic Observatory (FGO) located at the R�dio Observat�rio Espacial do Nordeste (ROEN) in Eus�bio, Brazil, nearly 30 km east of Fortaleza, Ceara ? State, Brazil.� This requirement includes the shipment, installation/integration, testing, storage, and technical support for the 12m antenna. �The VGOS radio antenna being developed under NASA contract NNG17HS01C consists of a main reflector, a secondary reflector, feed tube, counterweights, a turning head, a pedestal, antenna drives and a control system.� The VGOS radio antenna interfaces with several related VGOS elements that includes the site foundation, electrical power, signal chain, field system, monitoring and archival system, timing, networks, and human interfaces. ��The purpose of this contract will be to support all aspects of the integration and deployment of this new antenna. NASA/GSFC intends to issue a sole source contract to acquire the services from Intertronic Solutions Inc. in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 � only one responsible source. �Intertronic Solutions created and delivered the previous VLBI antenna under contract NNG17HS01C and is currently producing the second antenna. �Intertronic Solutions has the technical knowledge and experience required to successfully deliver and install the antenna. �Therefore, no other source can provide the services necessary to meet the needs of the FGO 12m Antenna mission. �A period of performance of 13 months is anticipated (3/25/2024-4/30/2025). 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 electronically via email to Nathan Freeman at Nathan.A.Freeman@nasa.gov not later than December 1, 2022. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis. �A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/Procurement-Ombuds-Comp-Advocate-Listing.pdf.
