- Description
- NASA/LaRC has a requirement for Narrowband Optical Filters (1 EA). The narrowbandoptical filters should have both very high transmission and very narrow bandwidth atuser-specified wavelengths. NASA/LaRC intends to purchase the items from Barr Associates, Inc., who is the only knownsource capable of meeting these requirements. Barr Associates' unique features includeproviding optical filters with bandwidths of <0.5 nm and transmissions greater than80%, while simultaneously hitting the target center wavelength to better than 0.05 nm,and provide blocking at several hundred nanometers. Due to the uniqueness of the opticalfilters, award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of costs tothe Government, which is not expected to be recovered through competition. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform theeffort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local timeon April 25, 2008. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for thepurpose 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 opencompetition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretionof 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.
