- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement to modernize the Formation Flying Testbed facility (FFTB), which is used to test and verify a spacecrafts ability to determine its position in relation to other spacecrafts or in relation to the Earth. The FFTB makes frequent use of Global Positioning System (GPS) constellation signal simulators to generate the Radio Frequency (RF) environment required to test spacecraft subsystems. The Government requires highly specialized and complicated GPS constellation signal simulators that generate the appropriate signals over the highly dynamic conditions. The GPS Simulator Statement of Work, which details the requirements, may be accessed at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=C&pin=. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is NNG13450485Q. This solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-63. The solicitation has been prepared with the intent to award on a sole source basis to Spirent Federal Systems located at 22345 La Palma Ave., Suite 105, Yorba Linda, California, 92887. All other offerors may submit a written quote via e-mail that will be reviewed by the Government. However, a determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. The Government intends to enter into a Firm-Fixed-Price contract. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this acquisition is 334220; Small Business Size: 750 Employees. Items to be acquired are the following: (1) a 4- RF output GPS constellation signal simulator system, (2) a 2-RF output GPS constellation signal simulator subsystem, (3) additional hardware to expand the capability of a previously acquired 2-RF output GPS signal simulator subsystem from 12 simulation channels to 16 simulation channels in L1, L2 and L5, requiring eight channel cards in total, (4) a distribution unit for connecting the previously acquired 2-RF output GPS constellation signal simulator subsystem with the 2-RF output GPS constellation signal simulator subsystem acquired by this procurement, and (5) integration and initial calibration of the 4-RF output GPS constellation signal simulator system which will be created by combining the previously acquired 2-RF output GPS constellation signal simulator subsystem with the 2-RF output GPS constellation signal simulator subsystem acquired by this procurement. The delivery of the items to be acquired shall be no later than 18 weeks after the contract award date. The place of delivery is included in the GPS Simulators Statement of Work. The place of acceptance and FOB point is Destination. The provision at 52.209-5, Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters, applies to this acquisition. The provision at 52.209-7, Information Regarding Responsibility Matters, applies to this acquisition. The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to OfferorsCommercial, applies to this acquisition. The provision at 52.212-2, EvaluationCommercial Items, applies to this acquisition. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Descending Order of importance: 1) Technical Capability of the items offered to meet the Government requirement, 2) Price, and 3) Past Performance. Technical capability and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important than Price. The offeror shall submit, as part of its quote, existing product literature in addition to information on previously performed contracts or on-going contracts that are similar to the statement of work/item description in the solicitation performed for Federal, State or local Governments, and for commercial firms. Information shall be provided on either 1) all such contracts within the past three years, or 2) the last three such contracts performed, whichever is fewer, and shall be limited to the name and address of the organization for which the product was supplied and services were performed and the number (phone and fax) of a contact for each contract listed. The offeror should not describe past performance history in the quote. The information should include, however, discussion of any major problems encountered on the contract listed and the corrective actions taken to resolve them. The information may also include a description of any quality awards earned by the offeror. The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. However, the quote of an offeror with no relevant past performance history, while not rated favorably or unfavorably for past performance, may not represent the most advantageous quote to the Government and thus, may be an unsuccessful quote when compared to the responses of other quotes. The quoter should provide the information requested above for past performance evaluation, or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant directly related or similar past performance. Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and CertificationsCommercial Items, Alternate I with its offer.
