- Description
- NASA/LaRC has a requirement for the purchase of an electronic chassis, backplane (ePCI), power supplies, communication test box and associated cables for the development of commercial and in-house electronics boards and software. NASA/LaRC intends to purchase the items from Broad Reach Engineering who is the only known responsible source. NASA LaRC research staff are developing an Advanced Avionics suite of hardware and software for future applications in both flight and space environments. As the result of a competitive procurement, NASA LaRC procured engineering models of flight rated electronics boards from Broad Reach Engineering. A chassis, backplane (ePCI), power supplies, communication test box and associated cables are required to provide the unique wiring for communicating among all the boards. NASA LaRC has expended substantial resources in the development of the Advanced Avionics suite using the Broad Reach Engineering electronics boards. Purchase of the chassis from other than Broad Reach Engineering would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The sole source authority for this item is FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. This acquisition is being conducted in accordance with FAR 13.5, Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. 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 August 28, 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.
