Cryo-coolers and Temperature controllers
NASA/NSSC has a requirement for replacement of cryo-coolers and temperature controllers.
NASA/NSSC intends to issue a sole source contract to Advance Research Systems, Inc. [ARS] under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). Competition is impractical as the replacement equipment must be compatible with the existing equipment previously designed and built by ARS.
NASA/NSSC will be the procuring center for this effort. Performance will be located at NASA/ Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC).
The Government intends to acquire commercial items and services using the provisions, clauses and procedures prescribed in FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13.
Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 11:59 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Friday April 7th, 2017. 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.
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 .
