- Description
- NASA/ARC has a requirement for engineering support and analysis services in the area of NASA's Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA) suit caution and warning, diagnostic and prognostic data processing. This effort will focus on EVA operations and equipment maintenance scenarios, utilizing the International Space Station (ISS) EVA environment as a baseline to develop on-demand maintenance scenerios and demonstrations to show capabilites that are not presently available. This effort will provide detailed information on suit sensors and the data collection mechansims and on the safety margins and redundancy features incorporated in this equipment. The period of performance will be four years consisting of a one year base period, followed by three (3) one-year options. NASA/ARC intends to purchase the engineering support from Hamilton Sunstrand Corporation of Windsor Locks, CT 06096-1010 under the authority of 10 U.S.C.2304 (c)(1) based on their unique expertise and experience as the provider for EVA suits used on the ISS and Shuttle, related proprietary data and patents. This requirement is to support the Ames Research Center's Government Task Agreement submitted and selected in response to NASA BAA 04-02 Human & Robotic Technology 2004. 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 30, 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.
