- Description
- NASA/DFRC plans to issue Call Order # NND05AB63D under Scaled Composites, LLC BPA No. E05479D for commercial "Wet Lease" of the Proteus Aircraft and other Proteus Related Aircraft Services. Requirements are to support a Research/Engineering mission to demonstrate Cooperative Collision Avoidance (CCA) technologies that may enable routine ?file and fly? operations in the National Airspace System (NAS). From June 2005 until October 2005, Scaled Composite will support NASA in developing a sub-system level and Air Traffic Management (ATM) Simulations by supplying Vehicle & Air Vehicle Control Station (AVCS) models, (including Platform-Specific Aerodynamics, Flight Controls, and C3 modules) and by supporting integration of theses models into various laboratory and simulation environments. Support will also include enumerating and providing available aero data, models, control laws, and comparison data such as time histories. The payload will be integrated with the airplane at the contractor?s facility in Mojave, CA. NASA/DFRC intends to contract for these services directly from Scaled Composites, LLC, Mojave, CA under the terms and conditions of BPA No. E05479D. The authority for other than full and open competition is 10 USC 2304(c)(1) "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements?. Justification is based upon Scaled Composites, LLC's unique and proprietary capabilities to provide the required services involving both the Proteus Aircraft and the aircraft?s support structure for the installation of the GFE CCA subsystem (TCAS-II and ADS-B, which will typically employ ARINC 429, Mil-Std 1553, RS-232, RS-422, or similar data protocols) to include Aircraft and AVCS hardware components and software modules. The Proteus is a one-of-a-kind aircraft that was designed and manufactured by Scaled Composites, LLC. Additionally, the Proteus is the only existing aircraft that offers the payload, performance, surrogate UAV features, and endurance capabilities necessary to meet the requirements of the High Altitude requirements. Award to any other source would result in failure to meet the Agency's requirements. The Government intends to acquire these commercial services using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform this effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on April 22, 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.
