- Description
- NASA Headquarters (NASA/HQ) has a requirement for an independent body to provide assessments and advice to NASA on programs and issues in space and Earth sciences, applications, and supporting technologies resulting in reports that will aid in the planning processes of the Science Mission Directorate and other NASA offices. NASA/HQ intends to purchase the items from the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Research Council based on the objectivity and expertise that the NAS provides. NAS is the only organization that is able, through its self-perpetuating, elected membership, to consistently command the services of the nation's foremost scholars and researchers. The NAS employs rigorous and independent review processes that further guarantee the quality and integrity of its studies and reports. On this basis, the NAS is the only entity that can provide the required services to 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 3:00 p.m. local time on May 11, 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. 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.
