- Description
- NASA/MSFC has a requirement for a Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM) operator to collect CMM data in support of the Space Shuttle External Tank in-flight anomaly testing. NASA/MSFC intends to purchase the items from ATK Thiokol, Inc. because the CMM equipment that will be utilized is government furnished equipment (GFE) and requires a significant amount of training and experience in order for the operator to be certified proficient to the level necessary required for the specific tasks. Currently, ATK Thiokol is the only source with a government certified operator. Additionally, due to the time and expense necessary for operational certification and demonstration of proficiency required for the Advanced GFE CMM system required for the tasks, selection of another vendor would lead to an inability for data collection in order to support test objectives per the current schedule and cost requirements. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. 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 September 21, 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. See NASA Specific Note "B". Any referenced notes may be viewed at the following URLs linked below.
