- Description
- NASA/KSC has a requirement for continued annual renewal of software maintenance and support of Computer Simulation Technology (CST) Studio Suite electromagnetic simulation software. NASA/KSC intends to purchase this service from CST of America for the following reasons: NASA's Launch Services Program (LSP) is responsible for oversight of launch operations and countdown management for the Agency. In carrying out that function, LSP performs electromagnetic interference analysis.LSP has designed and developed unique models and processes that supplement and interface with the CST Studio Suite electromagnetic simulation software. The CST Studio Suite software must be current and maintained to ensure reliable and dependable data is produced. The use of another software would bring about an unacceptable technical risk by introducing incompatibilities with existing data, simulations, model, and processes. CST of America is the only authorized source of this software support. 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 4:30 p.m. local time on March 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 Any referenced notes may be viewed at the following URLs linked below. 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.
