- Description
- NASA Ames Research Center (ARC) intends to negotiate a contract with the NeerimCorporation of Mountain View, CA, as the only responsible source to lead the ORION MainHeatshield ablator and compression pad thermo-structural independent analysis for NASA insupport of the ORION Thermal Protection System (TPS) Critical Design Review (CDR),scheduled for February 2011. NASA also requires support from the Neerim Corporation forthe thermo-structural independent analysis effort of the ORION TPS for the ORIONBackshell.In accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, servicesmay be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of follow-oncontracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likelythat award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to theGovernment that is not expected to be recovered through competition, or unacceptabledelays in fulfilling the agencys requirements. This procurement is a continuation and outgrowth of highly specialized work currentlybeing performed by the Neerim Corporation under subcontract to Eloret NNA04BC25C. TheNeerim Corporations personnel constitute the original source for this work. Because ofthe Neerim Corporations unique capabilities and experience in this highly specializedfield, award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to theGovernment that is not expected to be recovered through competition.
