- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for two small, autonomous, eye-safe backscatter lidars at 532 nm with depolarization capability. <p> The NASA Micro Pulse Lidar Network (MPLNET) has operated a network of small, automated eye-safe lidars around the world since 2000. MPLNET utilizes the Micro Pulse Lidar (MPL) instrument designed and patented at NASA GSFC in the 1990s. MPLNET only uses lidar instruments at two wavelengths, 532 and 355 nm. The only 532 nm lidar approved for use in MPLNET that meets our project specifications is the MPL. This procurement is for two of the latest model of the Micro Pulse Lidar, MPL-4B-IDS-532-AT, with added depolarization capability (POL-FS). Sigma Space Corporation is the only manufacturer of the depolarization Micro Pulse Lidar (MPL). The depolarization MPL is based on the license they hold to sell commercial MPL products patented by NASA GSFC. The Sigma MPL instruments are already in wide spread use in the NASA MPLNET project, and are the only 532 nm lidar accepted for use in the MPLNET project. <p> The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Procedures set forth in FAR Part 13. The Government intends to award using FAR PART 13 and Subpart 13.5 Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. 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 September 9, 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.
