- Description
- NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) has a requirement for maintenance support of its autonomous Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems at NASA GSFC's Greenbelt Facility and GSFC's Wallops Flight Facility (WFF). Both systems support emergency communication requirements, and operations pertaining to routine missions, logistics, safety, environmental, mechanical, information services, facility, and security communications needs. The GSFC Greenbelt facility contains one (1) Radio Frequency (RF) transmitter site operating in the Ultra High Frequency (UHF) spectrum. The WFF facility, contains Two (2) RF sites operating in the Very High Frequency (VHF) spectrum. NASA/GSFC intends to continue to contract services with Harris Corporation for maintenance services for the Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems located at GSFC's Greenbelt and WFF facilities. Performance period is for May 14, 2016 through September 13, 2016. Currently, Harris is providing the day-to-day LMR maintenance and support under Contract No. NNG10FG01C. The current vendor provides a workforce with the required training, experience and expertise that allows uninterrupted continuation of mission critical maintenance support and services. Should these services be interrupted, the NASA GSFC facilities will be unable to utilize the IT infrastructure and systems required for maintaining emergency preparedness communication requirements, and operations pertaining to routine missions, logistics, safety, environmental, mechanical, information services, facility, and security communications needs. A follow-on competition is currently underway. If NASA Goddard attempts to procure these services from any other source for the stated interim period, it will impact NASA's mission critical maintenance support and services. The additional time needed for any other source of support to reach the current level of expertise of the current contractor would be unacceptable. Therefore, Harris is considered the only contractor that can meet NASA's needs during this short-term period. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort to Ms. Nina Albritton via email at nina.a.albritton@nasa.gov not later than 4:30 p.m. eastern standard time on March 29, 2016. Only emailed responses will be considered. Such capabilities and qualifications statements 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. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html.
