- Description
- NASA/GRC has a requirement for EchoTherm IR NDI System upgrade v.8.x including software and hardware to upgrade an existing thermal imaging system. Description of Requirement: - Upgrade consists of enhanced software and changes to the acquisition hardware. - New hardware features widen the range of available test configurations. NASA/GRC intends to purchase the items from Thermal Wave Imaging. This recommendation is made pursuant to FAR 13.106, for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available from only one source. Competition is impractical for the following reasons: The hardware/ software upgrade described is an integrated add-on to the existing thermal imaging system. Purchase of this equipment from a different vendor would result in unacceptable hardware and software incompatibilities due to the proprietary nature of the existing system. Therefore it would be the best interest of the government to purchase directly from Thermal Wave Imaging. 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 08/13/2007. 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. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B". Any referenced notes may be viewed at the following URLs linked below.
