- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for two additional Coarse Sun Sensor Units (CSS), ten CSS stimulators, and one stimulator control panel for the ten CSS stimulators to support the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). NASA/GSFC intends to issue a sole-source Request for Proposal (RFP) under Contract NNG06ED61C to Adcole Corporation in Marlborough, Massachusetts. Adcole Corporation shall provide two additional CSS units, ten CSS stimulators, and one stimulator control panel for the ten CSS stimulators. Adcole is currently under contract to supply 22 CSS units for the LRO Project. The LRO is required to possess redundant CSS units and the additional CSS units must have identical form, fit and function as the original CSS units. Adcole Corporation, as the original vendor for the LRO CSS units, is the only source that can build the identical CSS units and provide for the CSS stimulators and stimulator control panel for these CSS stimulators. The two additional CSS units must be the exact design as those that are currently being provided by Adcole. Additionally, the CSS stimulators and control panel must interface directly to the CSS units. This combined with the adherence to the existing project schedule is paramount for us to meet our launch schedule as requested in the President?s Vision for U.S. Space Exploration. To ensure we meet our October 2008 launch date with acceptable technical and schedule risk, this procurement must be awarded by early 2007. The estimated period of performance of this firm-fixed-price (FFP) effort is approximately 6 months. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See Notes 22, 26, and B. Statutory authority for this sole source procurement is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1)--Only One Responsible Source. However, organizations who believe they can provide these services without any detrimental impact to the program schedules supported by this work, should fully identify their interest and capabilities within 15 days after publication of this synopsis. Interested organizations have 15 days from the publication of this synopsis to submit in writing to the identified point of contact, their qualifications/capabilities. Such qualifications/capabilities will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. Responses received after the 15 days or without the required information will be considered non-responsive to the synopsis and will not be considered. A determination by the Government to not compete this proposed effort on a full and open competitive basis, based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. All qualified responsible sources may submit an offer, which shall be considered by the agency. Any referenced notes may be viewed at the following URLs linked below.
