- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for a Noble Gas Isotope Mass Spectrometer Gas Handling and Processing System. <p> NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Thermo Electron North America, pursuant to FAR 13. 106, for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available from only one known source. These parts will clean and process the samples used to obtain highly sensitive and very precise measurements of all noble gas isotopes in solid samples such as meteorites and terrestrial rocks. The gas handling and sample preparation system is manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific as part of their Noble Gas Mass Spectrometer system. The system interfaces directly with critical parts of the Noble Gas MassSpectrometer and no other manufacturer could design the proper interfaces as the information needed is proprietary to Thermo Fisher Scientific. Additionally, the automated software is the same software that operates the Noble Gas Mass Spectrometer; therefore, only Thermo Fisher can provide computerized automation and integration for the gas sampling system. <p> The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. <p> Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on August 19, 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. <p> Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. <p> All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. <p> 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.
