- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for: 1. Part number 5099SSPBPRC-100, VME Enclosure 509 Series. Last item. Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions, Inc. is the developer, manufacturer and distributor of the Series 509 VME Chassis that is currently used by the Communication & Telemetry Branch (VA-E1) of the Launch Services directorate within the Telemetry Systems. Facilities within the NASA KSC Hangar AE Building and Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in California have established systems using the VME Chassis. Given the mission critical importance of the VA-E1?s unique telemetry hardware, VA-E1 personnel must work to maintain the proper functionality of each system that the organization currently employs by maintaining a fleet of spare replacement parts for vital processing components such as the Series 509 VME Chassis. Pursuant to FAR 13.106-1 (b) and 13.106-3(b)(3)(i), the acquisition of the VME Chassis has been determined to be available from only one responsible source: Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions, Inc. This determination was made after extensive market research of the internet for alternative supplies yielded no other competitive suppliers of the requested product which would be compatible with the VA-E1?s pre-existing communications and telemetry architecture. The VA-E1 currently maintains a stock of spare parts to support the Series 509 VME Chassis, maintaining spare parts for each different VME Chassis at both East Coast and West Coast facilities would be undesirable from an operations view point, due to increased opportunity for part and system failure, but in addition, supporting different VME Chassis would not be cost effective for the Government.
