- Description
- Arcata Associates, Inc. has a requirement for three (3) Tecom Industries, Inc. Model # 807034-002 (type 202207) Linear polarized parabolic reflector assembly, 24 inch reflector 1.0-18.0 GHZ. Arcata Associates, Inc. intends to purchase the items from Tecom Industries, Inc. 375 Conejo Ridge Avenue, Thousand Oaks, CA 91361. We recommend that the Government acquire the C-Band bore site tower upgrade from Tecom Industries, Inc. manufacturer part number 807034-002 identified the procurement request 12-2542 by means other than full and open competition.This upgrade supports an existing NASA DFRC capability (Western Aeronautical Test Range WATR), this capability provides the ATF 1-2-3 new C-Band feed testing. a) The Tecom antenna P/N INC-807034-002 is desired for its mounting scheme and electrical performance characteristics. No other vendor is known to produce this exact P/N as it is proprietary to Tecom Industries. b) Tecom Industries has demonstrated its ability to meet these requirements effectively and within budgetary constraints set aside by NASA DFRC WATR for this procurement. Procurement of another manufacturer's equipment would significantly increase the procurement cost due to other manufacturer's equipment not being compatible with our current mounting system and electrical performance requirements. c) We are currently use Tecom Industry products and it would be undue cost to the government to pay NRE for the development anywhere else. It would be further undue cost to cause government labor for a change in the mounting requirement as this unit shall physically replace the existing Tecom units. d) Mission impact risk will be significantly reduced due to Tecoms ability to meet our requirement with this part number and deliver in short lead time. Other manufacturers do not have this part number and would require long lead time due to engineering, development, production and delivery delays. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to dfrc-dl-arcata-procurement@mail.nasa.gov to the identified point of contact not later than 2:30 p.m. local time on August 8, 2012.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 acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.
