- Description
- Description: The United States Air Force Space and Missile System Center (SMC), Defense Weather Systems Directorate (DWSD) is contemplating issuing a sole source Request for Proposal (RFP) to Broad Reach Engineering for Sensor Procurement in support of the COSMIC-2 Partnership Mission. The Space Situational Awareness Environmental Monitoring (SSAEM) program office will be procuring six (6) space-based "TriG" Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Radio Occultation (RO) flight articles, which will provide total electron content, ionospheric scintillation, and vertical refractivity in the ionosphere, and water vapor and temperature profiles in the troposphere. The SSAEM program office will also be procuring options for up to two (2) additional TriG sensors, vehicle integration and test support, and controlled environmental storage facilities. A prototype of the TriG GNSS RO is currently in development by JPL and will be used to support the transition from an engineering model to flight quality sensors. The RFP will be issued no earlier than 15 days after publication of this notice. The Government may elect not to procure any sensors (described above) as a result of this solicitation. Subject to the Competition in Contracting Act, if justified, FAR 6.302-1(a)(2) states, Full and open competition need not be provided for "when the supplies or service required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, or for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies of services will satisfy agency requirement". As such, Broad Reach Engineering is determined to be the only responsible source to contract with for this effort. The NAISC code for this action is 334516, with a size standard of 500 employees.
