- Description
- This is a sole source synopsis issued in accordance with FAR 5.203(a) and FAR 13.106-1(b). DARPA intends to issue a sole sorce purchase order to the National Engineering Center of Carnegie Mellon University (CMU-NREC) to support the DARPA/TTO META Program. This purchase order will fulfill the need for a set of system and component models sufficiently detailed to exercise the META tools currently under development. The META program is at a stage when tool maturation and integration requires the use of such a set of models. This purchase is essential to the completion of the META program since it supplies the necessary component models. As a past performer on the DARPA UGCV (Crusher) program and the TARDEC Autonomous Platform Demonstrator (APD) program, CMU-NREC is the only entity with the background and resources to provide the required model set. CMU-NREC can deliver a coherent and fully representative set of models encompassing the Drivetrain cooling system. This set of models would require a different performer to recreate the existing CMU-NREC capability, or design an entirely separate vehicle. As a result of the above qualifications, CMU-NREC is uniquely qualified to perform this urgent work, and it is deemed to be in the best interests of the Government to award this Purchase Order to CMU-NREC on a sole source basis. This announcment constitutes the only synopsis for this requirement, is not a request for proposals, or an RFP of any kind, and is issued for notification purposes only.
