- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for (1) One - Dynamic Interferometer System (2) One ? Transmission Flat (3) One ? Adjustable Vertical Mount, (4) Two - Operator's Manuals and (5) One ? Training Session . NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from 4D Technology Corporation of Tucson,AZ, on a sole source basis due to the fact that the detail of the design and manufacture of the interferometer are proprietary to 4D Technology Corporation. The Government is not aware of any other companies that meet the technical requirements for this procurement. 4D Technologies makes an instantaneous phase shift interferometer which is virtually vibration insensitive. This is extremely critical to the type of measurements required by the JWST Microshutter Project. Without this new groundbreaking technology, high accuracy measurements of wafer and die contour cannot be reliably made without employing costly and bulky vibration isolation tables. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1), Only One Responsible Source. 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 4:30 p.m. local time on March 4, 2005. 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.
