- Description
- NASA/DFRC plans to issue a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) to Pacific Video Products Advanced EO Systems of Orange, CA for Support, Enhancement and System Development of NASA/DFRC's Imaging Capabilities in support of the NITE Hawk Advanced Video Data Acquisition System (AVDAS) pod; Schlieren system; podlet-based systems; digital recording comuter systems, and support development of enhancements to the current imaging capabilities. These services will be provided through a "call order" type arrangement. This is a follow-on to an existing contract vehicle. Objective: The contractor shall be tasked by NASA to provide technical support and maintenance beyond the scope of maintenance tasks currently performed by NASA avionics maintenance personnel; improvements and enhancements to currently fielded system; development of new imaging capabilities. Sufficient documentaqtion and inspection shall be provided to assure flight safety and proper function of all pod and camera components, and recording system components. This may also include the purchase of various imaging hardware to support these efforts. Sufficient documentation and inspection shall be provided to assure flight safety and proper function of all pod and camera components. NASA anticipates that task assignments will occur through written direction (call order) from NASA. However, large or complex task assignments will be detailed in written task assignments with specific deliverables as appropriate. NASA/DFRC intends to procure this technical and engineering support from Pacific Video Products Advanced EO Systems (PVP) of Orange, CA under the authority of both FAR 6.302 and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. Justification is based upon PVP's unique and proprietary capabilities to provide the required services. PVP designed and engineered the existing imaging equipment. Due to the highly specialized nature of this service and existing systems, PVP is the only source with prior experience that is vital to the successful satisfaction of the requirement. Award to another contractor would be too costly and delay current and upcoming flight programs/schedules. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR PART 12. This procurement is a total small business set-aside. See Note 1.
