- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement to demonstrate optical communications relay services between geosynchronous orbit and Earth over an extended period, and gain knowledge and an experience that will enable NASA to design, procure, and operate cost-effective future optical communications systems and relay networks. To support this effort, the Government requires a space-qualified Controller Electronics unit for the Laser Communications Relay Demonstration (LCRD) for NASAs Office of Chief Technologist and NASAs Space Communications and Navigation Office. LCRD intends to leverage optical communications technology previously developed for NASA and the Department of Defense (DoD) by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Lincoln Laboratory (MIT/LL). NASA/GSFC intends to procure the services from Broad Reach Engineering located in Tempe, AZ. Broad Reach Engineering (Small Business) is the only responsible source with the expertise (gained from MIT/LL) to design, procure materials, build, and deliver a total of one (1) Controller Electronics Engineering Design Unit (EDU) by early 2014 and Flight unit deliveries by early 2015.Broad Reach possesses all the hardware, Field-Programmable Gate Array firmware, software driver package, test procedures, and test equipment to support the LCRD mission. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact at Michelle.A.Delaney@nasa.gov, no later than 4:30 p.m. EST on February 20, 2013. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. 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.
