- Description
- This synopsis is being provided for information purposes only. NASA Goddard hasselected Fibertek Inc for the Laser Systems Engineering Services (LSES) contract,NNG09CP09C. This is an Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity Cost-Plus Award Feecontract valued at $35 million. The period of performance is five years. The NAICS Codeis 336419 and the Size Standard is 1,000 employees. The estimated value of the proposed task order #9 is $300,000. The anticipated period ofperformance is 1 April 2010 to 1 Sept 2010. NASA Goddard intends to award Task Order #9 to contract NNG09CP09C, IAW the AmericanRecovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, PL 111-5. Task order #9 is Ice, Cloud and LandElevation Satellite 2 (ICESat-2) Project which is baselining a multiple ground-spot,micropulse laser measurement approach for ranging to collect data on the topography ofpolar ice. NASA has placed a high importance on continuous monitoring of polar ice asthis data is necessary for ongoing global climate research. The ICESat-2 Mission willcarry a single instrument payload, called ATLAS (Advanced Topographic Laser AltimeterSystem), which will use precision laser-ranging techniques to measure the topography ofice sheets and the thickness characteristics of sea ice. The ICESat-2 Project is in PhaseA formulation activities that include instrument architecture and measurement schemedefinitions. Several US laser vendors are developing laser transmitter designs andprototypes for ATLAS to meet a series of milestones established by the ATLAS laser team. The reliability of the ICESat-2/ATLAS laser transmitter is critical to the missionsuccess. Since this task will be used in support of the selection criteria for theeventual ICESat-2 laser vendor, it must remain independent of any specific approach orvendor for the ICESat-2 laser development effort. Work will be performed at NASA'sGoddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, Md., and at the contractor's facility.Specific needs to this task are: 1)Determine the scope and develop a plan for assessing the reliability of the fourlaser transmitter suppliers.2)Conduct a review of the laser transmitter design, the components used in thelaser transmitter assembly, and quality manuals, combined with a visit to each suppliersmanufacturing plant for interrogations, discussions and preliminary on-site qualityaudits.3)Acquire and review the available test/reliability data about each lasertransmitter component intended for use in each of the four laser transmitter supplierslaser transmitters.4)Clarify designs, data, ideas and conclusions of each of the laser transmittersuppliers.5)Document suppliers plans to address reliability threats for the lasertransmitters.This document and any other related documents to this procurement will be available overthe Internet. These documents will reside on a World Wide Web (WWW) server, which may beaccessed using a WWW browser application.
