- Description
- NASA/NSSC has a requirement for a training program entitled Space Systems Engineering Development Program Class 3. The objective of the program is to provide a project management leadership curriculum for JSC employees selected for the Space Systems Engineering Development Program. This offering shall be held at NASAs Johnson Space Center beginning March 1, 2013. NASA/NSSC intends to purchase the above curriculum from Essential Space, Inc., 14 Via Piedras, Manitou Springs, Colorado 80829-2437. Pursuant to FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements; competition is impractical for the following reasons: This unique curriculum in Space System Engineering is provided by Essential Space, Inc., DBA Teaching Science and Technology, Inc. (TSTI). TSTI instructors have written and/or edited the only integrated collection of 14 published textbooks and references that capture the full spectrum of system engineering and its application to NASA design experience and lessons learned. Further, TSTI is the provider of choice for system engineering training for the National Security Agency, Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Defense and key industry organizations. This one-of-a-kind curriculum provides NASA's aspiring and practicing system engineers with design experience and lessons learned from over 35 years of NASA, Department of Defense and industry experience designing and operating space missions and systems. The curriculum courses constitute the only program in the U.S. offering the following unique combination of hands-on space system engineering development: >Hands-on courses and laboratories are delivered onsite which saves travel dollars for JSC and time for employees. >The courses have a flexible delivery, scheduled to suit employee constraints and work schedules. >Professors actually wrote the book, Applied Space System Engineering, along with a host of NASA employees, industry and other government experts in space system engineering. This book forms the foundation of the curriculum. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using the procedures in FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 2:30 p.m. Central Standard Time on January 22, 2013. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose 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 open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. Capabilities and qualifications should be submitted to Candice C. Talley at Candice.C.Talley@nasa.gov. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note 'B'. Any referenced notes may be viewed at the following URLs linked below. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html.
