- Description
- INU TEQ, LLC has a requirement for renewal of Smartronix Level I, II, and III Maintenance Support. INU TEQ intends to purchase the items from Smartronix, Inc., 44150 Smartronix Way, Hollywood, Maryland, 20636. This annual licensing agreement procurement supports an existing NASA AFRC capability (Dryden Aeronautical Test Range (DATR). This capability provides for the processing of flight data archive files produced by the Smartronix Omega telemetry front-end system. This Smartronix Omega front-end system is currently in use by the DATR. The estimated Period of Performance for this procurement will commence March 13, 2015 and continue through March 12, 2016. This procurement will be awarded as a sole source. Smartronix, Inc. 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)). Smartronix, Inc. is the only responsible source which is capable of satisfying the agencys unique need for the following reasons: a.Smartronix, Inc. developed the ODE software and the telemetry front-end system to which it interfaces. Smartronix, Inc. 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. Smartronix, Inc. 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.Smartronix, Inc., as a 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, Smartronix, Inc. 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 DATR. The time and cost of a detailed technical analysis of the capabilities provide by Smartronix ODE software will be avoided, and the time and cost of the development of an alternate solution will also be avoided. The Government 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 2:30 p.m. local time on March 19, 2015. 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.
