- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for the analysis of real-time space weather performed by personnel certified by NASA Space Weather Research Center management as Level II Space Weather Forecaster and Analyst. The analysis includes processing of real-time SOHO, STEREO A&B coronagraph images to derive Coronal Mass Ejections characteristics, running global heliosphere simulations at the Community Coordinated Modeling Center Systems, inserting real-time analysis results into databases and research-based investigations of space weather events to improve scientific understanding of relevant space physical processes. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the service from Artep Inc. pursuant to FAR 13.106, for the acquisition of services determined to be reasonably available from only one source. Artep is the only company that has the technology development and necessary expertise to carry out Forecaster Level II Space Weather Analysis. 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 2:30 p.m. local time on February 21, 2014. 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/p ub_library/Omb.html.
