- Description
- NASA/ARC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a production data acquisition and organization capability to enable the continued development of NASA/ARC's Aviation Security Passenger Screening System. The system will demonstrate the Information Technology capabilities developed at ARC and the relevance of those technologies to ensuring flight safety through the identification of potentially threatening passengers. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/ARC intends to purchase the items from Voquette Inc, of San Mateo, CA, under the authority of FAR 13.106 (b) (1) based on its unique capabilities to provide production data acquisition software and to provide speed of data acquisition. Voquette software has already been used to develop a baseline database generation capability at NASA Ames. In order to continue this development, NASA Ames intends to procure a license to the Voquette software so that Ames personnel can develop new capabilities in-house. This data acquisition system is a critical building block for the baseline database generation capability and must be established immediately. Other factors for the procurement include the speed of data acquisition of the Voquette product, Voquette's experience in the development of terrorist information systems, and Voquette's exclusive patent rights to a semantic processing capability, enabling the aforementioned delivery of data pertinent to the situation and the dynamic definition of "interesting" data. Continuation of the use of Voquette software is also expected to be cost-effective with regards to installation, personnel training, engineering services from company experts, and the expense of further interruption in the development of the system, supporting the Ames role in Aviation Security. 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 the identified point of contact not later than 12:30 p.m. local time on May 2, 2002. 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. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
