Description

NASA/JSC plans to issue a contract modification on Contract NAS 9-97220 for additional SHUTTLE REMOTE MANIPULATOR SUPPORT. The current contract expires on December 31, 2002. This modification is needed to continue to provide program management, engineering support,logistics, maintenance, overhaul and repair, and hardware development and production to the Johnson Space Center. The modification also covers new work such as the Space Station Robotic workstation sustaining engineering requirements and the development and manufacture of the Space Station Grapple Fixtures. NASA/JSC intends to purchase the support from the Canadian Commercial Corporation/MacDonald Dettwiler Space Robotics Corporation on a sole source basis. The AUTHORITY FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). The original design and development of the SRMS was funded by the Canadian Government who contracted to SPAR Aerospace Limited now MacDonald Dettwiler Space Robotics Corporation. Only MD Robotics has the design authority for the RMS. They designed, developed and produced all the orignal flight and ground support equipment for the RMS program plus subsequent redesigns. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. See Note 22. An Ombudsman has been appointed, See NASA Specific Note "B".
