- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for Two (2) K-12 teachers to participate in the PolarTREC Teachers and Researchers Exploring and Collaborating (TREC) program. This program consists of 2-6 weeks of hands-on field research in the polar regions. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the PolarTREC program participation from the Artic Research Consortium of the United States (ARCUS) located in Fairbanks, Alaska. The PolarTREC program is managed by the Arctic Research Consortium of the United States (ARCUS). ARCUS is a nonprofit member consortium of educational and scientific institutions that have a substantial commitment to Arctic research. There is no other known organization or vendor that offers this kind of specialized education and outreach program for polar research. Furthermore, the PolarTREC program provides a large existing infrastructure and community network that is key for a highly successful education and outreach program. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and 13.5. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to: Nadine.Graham@nasa.gov not later than 3:00 p.m. eastern standard time on 02/05/2016. 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. Offers shall be submitted by 12:00pm eastern standard time on 02/05/16. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable.
