- Description
- Statement of Work Quotation: NNG16593195Q NASA's GSFC has a requirement to modernize the on-site Global Positioning System (GPS) signal simulators located in the Formation Flying Testbed facility (FFTB). This test facility is used to research, develop, test and verify GPS receivers for NASA missions and experiments. This commercial acquisition modernizes the FFTB while still maintaining compatibility with other institutions, within and outside of NASA, which perform similar work. The hardware in the facility is currently being used to verify orbit determination algorithms and circuitry for the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER), Station Explorer for X-ray Timing and Navigation Technology (SEXTANT) and Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation Lidar (GEDI) missions. The FFTB makes frequent use of GPS constellation signal simulators to generate the Radio Frequency (RF) environment required to test spacecraft subsystems. The Government requires highly specialized and complicated GPS constellation signal simulators that generate the appropriate signals over the highly dynamic conditions. See the GPS Constellation Signal Simulator Statement of Work, which details the requirements. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is NNG16593195Q. 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 2005-89. The solicitation has been prepared with the intent to award on a sole source basis to Spirent Federal Systems located at 1402 W. State Rd, Pleasant Grove, Utah, 84062. The Spirent simulators are compatible with the existing simulators held in the FFTB. 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 334515; Small Business Size: 750 Employees. NASA GSFC requires four (4) new GPS Simulators capable of generating RF signals for the following Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS): GPS L1 and GPS L2. And two (2) of the following systems: GPS L5, GLONASS L1, GLONASS L2, Galileo E1, Galileo E5ab, Galileo E6, BeiDou B1 or BeiDou B2. Below outlines existing equipment that NASA GSFC intends to exchange or sell for credit to acquire new property as stated in the GPS Constellation Signal Simulator Statement of Work. Unit #: MODEL SN RACK UNIT CAL Unit 1: GSS 4760 2142 3015345 FFTB Rack 2 Master 05/29/16 Unit 2: GSS 4760 2141 2373599 FFTB Rack 2 Aux 05/29/15 Unit 3: GSS 4760 2092 3079321 FFTB Rack 1 Master 09/09/15 Unit 4: GSS 4760 2091 3076763 FFTB Rack 1 Aux 09/09/16 The delivery of the items to be acquired and the place of delivery is stated in the GPS Constellation Signal Simulator Statement of Work. The place of acceptance and FOB point is Destination. Quotes submitted on a basis other than f.o.b. 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 offered to meet the Government requirement, 2) Price, and 3) Past Performance. Technical capability and past performance, when combined, are significantly more important than Price. The offeror shall submit, as part of its quote, 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. Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items, with its offer.
