- Description
- NASA/HQ has a requirement for the acquisition of technical, life and physical sciences, and engineering studies on questions of national importance relating to aeronautics and space programs and their technologies including policy and long range plans. NASA/HQ intends to purchase the services from the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). The NAS is able to meet this requirement by maintaining expertise of the nations foremost scientific scholars, researchers, and engineers. It is from its extensive network that the NAS derives its membership for the panels, committees, boards, and roundtables, consistent with its charter, to examine NASAs issues or challenges relating to aerospace technology programs and systems engineering and to provide recommendations to ensure the viability of these activities. In addition, the NAS uses rigorous and independent review processes that guarantee the quality and integrity of its studies, evaluations, and reports. As future missions develop, it is vital for NASA to maintain the best possible understanding of its challenges and the best ways to meet them. The National Academy of Sciences provides NASA with a unique resource for meeting the need for expert research and guidance and for responding to inquiries pertaining to aeronautics and space policy and oversight for NASA. The Government does not intend 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 8/18/2015. 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
