- Description
- NASA/LARC has a requirement for Pyrotechnic guillotine cable cutters. NASA/LARC intends to purchase the items from Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company (PSEMC). PSEMC is the manufacturer of these guillotine types and the only distributor due to their proprietary nature. These guillotine cable cutters have been used for testing at NASA LaRC for many years. These cutters are a part of the design of LaRC's full-scale crash testing release system. Using another brand would require qualification testing and a modification or partial redesign of the release system. It would take substantial duplication of resources and time for another source to provide the required service and this additional expense is not expected to be recovered through competition. The Government intends 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 12:00 p.m. local time on 10/12/2016. 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. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable.
