- Description
- Arcata Associates, Inc has a requirement for Renewal of WYLE Level I, II, II Maintenance Support. Arcata Associates, Inc intends to purchase the items from WYLE TELEMETRY AND DATA SYSTEMS 44417 Pecan Court California, MA 20619 This annual licensing agreement procurement supports an existing NASA DFRC capability (Western Aeronautical Test Range WATR), this capability provides for the processing of flight data archive files produced by the Wyle Omega telemetry front-end system. This Wyle Omega front-end system is currently in use by the WATR. The estimated period of performance for this procurement will commence January 28, 2012 and continue through January 27, 2013 This procurement will be awarded as a sole source. Wyle Telemetry and Data Systems Division will be responsible for delivering the software licensing and maintenance identified in the purchase request. This procurement will be procured under statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition, FAR 6.302-1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies and services will satisfy agency requirements (10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1)). Wyle Telemetry and Data Systems Division is the only responsible source which is capable of satisfying the agency's unique need for the following reasons: a.Wyle Telemetry and Data Systems Division developed the ODE software and the telemetry front-end system to which it interfaces. Wyle Telemetry and Data Systems Division possesses the detailed knowledge for all aspects of the telemetry front-end system and the proprietary data file formats, which is unavailable to another firm. Wyle Telemetry and Data Systems Division owns the unique detailed design information and has personnel with the knowledge and ability to interface to the telemetry data system files and to perform the processing necessary. The personnel and design information are critical in implementing the required capabilities b.Wyle Telemetry and Data Systems Division, as the sole producer of the ODE software and licensing and maintenance support specified has the unique capabilities required to produce this solution. Due to the proprietary nature of the intellectual property, Wyle Telemetry and Data Systems Division is the only firm that can provide these required services and materials. c.Schedule risk and cost will be significantly reduced through the utilization of an existing unique capability identical to that currently used by the WATR. The time and cost of a detailed technical analysis of the capabilities provided by the Wyle ODE software will be avoided, and the time and cost of the development of an alternate solution will also be avoided. Arcata Associates, Inc. does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time on March 12, 2013. 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 Arcata Associates, Inc 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 Arcata Associates, Inc.. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
