- Description
- NASA/ARC has a requirement to extend the performance period of the OperationallyResponsive Space (ORS) Office for an additional 6 months. This extension will provideon-going ORS services in conjunction with the ORS office in Albuquerque, New Mexicopending completion of the procurement process.A modification reflecting this extensionwill be issued on or before November 30, 2009, which is the expiration date of thecurrent contract. This work under the ORS contract includes a reference design for aMulti-Mission Space Vehicle (MMSV), including the instrument (sensor), and definition ofthe payload, bus, and launch vehicle interfaces. NASA/ARC intends to award an additional requirement for contract NNA08BC42C as a resultthe period of performance will be extended. This effort was awarded as a firm fixedprice contract to Micro Sat Systems Inc. on September 23, 2008. This award was theresult of full and open competition. The current contract, inclusive of a 5.5 month BasePeriod and a 4 month Option Period. The extension of the contract shall result in a 15.5month period of performance including the basic requirement and all options.NASA is citing as authority for this Other Than Full and Open Competition provided by 10U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). The ORS contract requires design for a Multi-Mission Space Vehicle(MMSV), including the instrument (sensor), and definition of the payload, bus, and launchvehicle interfaces. Only one responsible source. No alternate source could adequatelyprovide this support during this brief extension period without extended dealy andduplication of costs.It is the intent of the government to award this action on a sole source basis. Award toanother source would result in substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delaysin fulfilling the Governments requirements.The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicitand negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302.1.The purpose ofthis action is to extend the period of performance requirement. A Market Survey was notperformed for this requirement since it was solicited on a competitive basis. Thecurrent Option Period does not provide sufficient time or funds to complete thisrequirement; as a result the ORS office has requested additional work to fully emphasizethe need to make the Multi-Mission Space Vehicle (MMSV) compatible with meeting the needsof RF missions, including radar, Communications and Tactical EW, which is associated withthe current SOW.This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by theGovernment not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice issolely within the discretion of the Government.Notwithstanding this stated intent, interested parties may submit their capabilities andqualifications to perform the effort IN WRITING to the identified point of contact notlater than 4:30 p.m. local time on September 20, 2009.Such communication ofcapabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determiningwhether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. Oral communicationsare not acceptable in response to this notice.The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.See Note26.An Ombudsman has been appointed.
