- Description
- NASA/ARC intends to extend Contract NNA08CG83C with Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies (SGT, Inc.) on a sole-source basis pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. The performance period will be extended for up to six months, consisting of one 4-month base period and two 1-month option periods. The principle purpose of this contract is to provide support in the following research domains: artificial intelligence (AI), knowledge-based systems, knowledge discovery and data mining, soft computing (including neural networks and fuzzy control methods), nanotechnology information processing and sensors, biologically inspired computer systems and human extensions, prognostic signal analysis, model-based diagnostic reasoning, software fault diagnostic and automated software methodologies, fault-tolerant computing hardware and networking, tele-presence and tele-control of remote, mobile platforms, autonomous and adaptive control, integrated design, human-centered computing, system design of a distributed heterogeneous network of workstations, and distribution of research information in various formats and forums. The extension will extend the period of performance of the current contract, NNA08CG83C, for four months, from September 29, 2013 to January 31, 2014, for the base period, and through March 31, 2014, if all options are exercised. The extension will not increase the current contract value. The extension is in the best interest of the Government, and it will allow sufficient time to award the follow-on procurement. The current contractor, SGT, Inc. is considered the only contractor that can meet the needs of ARC given the short period of performance for the extension. The extension is necessary to maintain the critical continuity of support services until the current procurement process has been completed and the follow-on contract has been awarded. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Notwithstanding this stated intent, interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact no later than 4:30 p.m. PST on Monday, July 29, 2013. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement action on a competitive basis. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All questions MUST be in writing and should be directed to Sarah M. Andrae, Contracting Officer, no later than 4:30 p.m. PST on Wednesday, July 24, 2013. Sarah M. Andrae may be reached at sarah.m.andrae@nasa.gov. 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.
