- Description
- Statement of Work NASA/GSFC has a requirement to acquire support for advance microshutters for UV and Visible Astronomy from Space. In this effort there is a need of a contractor to conduct testing and evaluation of the NAMSA 128x64 arrays in a vacuum test bed environment to determine the voltage and vacuum operation requirements for the new devices. A testbed will be constructed to allow illumination of the devices with UV or visual band light sources and to record an image of the illuminated array that allows assessment of the contrast between open a closed shutters as a function of wavelength. The testbed will also provide a means of adjusting the vacuum hardness to explore the robustness of the pulsed actuation and the resonance actuation of the array in the face of variable vacuum quality. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is NNG16594336Q. This solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-88. The solicitation has been prepared with the intent to award on a sole source basis to The Johns Hopkins University, 3400 N Charles St W400 Wyman Park Bldg, Baltimore, Maryland 21218. All other offerors may submit a written quote via e-mail that will be reviewed by the Government. However, a determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this solicitation is solely within the discretion of the Government. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this acquisition is 334513; Small Business Size: 500 Employees. The offeror shall state in their offer their size status for this procurement. CONTRACT LINE ITEMS See Statement of Work All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. The place of acceptance and FOB point is Destination. FOB Destination on offers are desired. Offers submitted on a basis other than FOB Destination will be rejected as nonresponsive. The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors Commercial, applies to this acquisition. The provision at 52.212-2, Evaluation Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: Descending Order of Importance: 1) Technical Capability of the items and services offered to meet the Government requirement, 2) Price, and 3) Past Performance. Technical and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important than price. The offeror shall submit, as part of its quote, existing product literature in addition to the information on previously performed contracts or on-going contracts that are similar to the statement of work/item description in the solicitation performed for Federal, State or local Governments, and for commercial firms. Information shall be provided on either 1) all such contracts within the past three years, or 2) the last three such contracts performed, whichever is fewer, and shall be limited to the name and address of the organization for which the product was supplied and services were performed and the number (phone and fax) of a contact for each contract listed. The offeror should not describe past performance history in the quote. The information should include, however, discussion of any major problems encountered on the contract listed and the corrective actions taken to resolve them. The information may also include a description of any quality awards earned by the offeror. The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. Offerors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. However, the quote of an offeror with no relevant past performance history, while not rated favorably or unfavorably for past performance, may not represent the most advantageous quote to the Government and thus, may be an unsuccessful quote when compared to the responses of other quotes. The quoter should provide the information requested above for past performance evaluation, or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant directly related or similar past performance.
