These services are serving as a bridge between the Space Shuttle and theavailability of a commercial vehicle. Until a commercial vehicle is available, continuedaccess to Russian human-rated launch, return, and rescue services is essential forplanned ISS operations and utilization by all ISS partners.The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.See Note26.Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform theeffort in writing to the identified point of contact no later than 4:30 p.m. CentralStandard time on January 18, 2011.
