- Description
- NASA/GRC has a requirement for an EXTENDED DIGITAL CONTROL UPGRADE & INTERFACE ELECTRONICS FOR INSTRON MODEL 8560, 1360, & 8060 ELECTRIC ACTUATOR MACHINES. NASA/GRC intends to purchase the items from INSTRON CORPORATION, 825 UNIVERSITY AVE, NORWOOD, MA 02062. Lack of competition is because the above units must be compatible with existing frames that were previously upgraded. The hardware, software, and accessories used with the test frames are proprietary to Instron Corporation and must also be compatible with the existing Instron equipment. Instron Corporation is the sole supplier of upgrade components, parts, and accessories for their proprietary equipment. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Procedures set forth in FAR Part 13. The Sole Source is under the authority of FAR reference 13.106-1(b)1. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on February 7th, 2007. 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. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
