This is a notice of intent to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP)5-14345/233 on a sole source basis for a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract with Research Triangle Institute (RTI), to upgrade the Tech TracS database developed by RTI, provide maintenance/software support and training for Tech TracS, and do feasibility studies for developing virtual reality CD-ROM based applications and identifying Tech TracS capabilities for electronic commerce, all in support of the NASA, Goddard Space Flight Center, Office of Commerical Programs. A 1-year base contract and two 1-year option periods are contemplated for a total period of performance from September 1995 through September 1998.

No other firm has developed a compatible database management software program or has access to the source code necessary for the maintenance, enhancement, training or feasibility study requirements. RTI is uniquely qualified under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1), as Only One Responsible Source. Any other firms desiring consideration are requested to fully identify their abilities in writing within fifteen (15) days of the publication of this synopsis to the GSFC Contracting Officer listed above.
