- Description
- NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) intends to negotiate a modification to Contract NAS5-35079, on a sole source basis, with Johnson Controls, Incorporated (JCI). The sole source acquisition is to obtain supplies and services for modifications to the Utility Control System (UCS) at GSFC. The modification will permit for an increase in contract performance time to permit GSFC to prepare and transition the existing UCS from a proprietary system to an open protocol UCS. The modification will allow for future competition of the requirement. At present, no single standard communications protocol exists which allows devices from other manufacturers to communicate transparently with the UCS at Goddard in its existing configuration. This sole source modification is justified under 10 USC 2304 ( c )( 1 ) ? ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE because utilizing Johnson Control?s equipment for the continuing replacement of the UCS is essential to achieving the Government?s stated requirements. However, all responsible sources desiring consideration are requested to fully identify their interest and capabilities, in writing, not later than 4:30 p.m., local time, 15 days after the publication of this synopsis, to the Contracting Officer cited above. 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 basis, based upon the responses, is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See note 26. An Ombudsman has been appointed, See NASA Specific Note "B".
