- Description
- NASA/LaRC has a requirement for an ESEB Linux Computing Cluster to include the following items: T950 1 Storage Chamber Upgrades, LTO-2 Drive sleds, LTO Universal Cleaning Cartridges w/ barcode, 5 Pack LTO-2 Media Cartridges(200/400GB Ultrium), TeraPacks with Dust Cover-10 Slots(LTO)-no media, Drive-To-QIP SCSI Cables-HD68M to 68VHDCI (18 inch - Ultra 320), LVD/SE Multimode Terminators 68pin, and technical support. NASA/LaRC intends to purchase the items from Spectra Logic Corporation, who is the only known responsible source. The ESEB Linux computing cluster will support several NASA missions. This system have been tested, validated and certified by NASA for mission critical support software and services. Any other hardware would require extensive retesting and verification. It would take substantial duplication of time and money for another company to offer a similar product that would meet this requirement. 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 May 24, 2006. 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.
