- Description
- NASA/LARC has a requirement for two Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs). NASA/LARC intends to purchase the items from IPG Photonics. IPG is the manufacturer and sole provider of the required EDFAs. It is imperative the two required EDFAs are identical to the existing IPG EDFA at NASA to ensure that all signal and noise sources are identical between transmitter units. It would take substantial duplication of resources and time for another source to design, test, and validate a similar unit, and this additional expense is not expected to be recovered through competition. The Government intends 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 not later than 12:30 p.m. local time on 04/08/2013.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. 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.
