- Description
- Draft SOW The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) is a NASA observatory designed to settle essential questions in the areas of dark energy, exoplanets, and infrared astrophysics. The telescope has a primary mirror that is 2.4 meters in diameter (7.9 feet), and is the same size as the Hubble Space Telescope's primary mirror. WFIRST will have two instruments, the Wide Field Instrument, and the Coronagraph Instrument. The Wide Field Instrument will have a field of view that is 100 times greater than the Hubble infrared instrument, capturing more of the sky with less observing time. As the primary instrument, the Wide Field Instrument will measure light from a billion galaxies over the course of the mission lifetime. It will perform a microlensing survey of the inner Milky Way to find ~2,600 exoplanets. The Coronagraph Instrument will perform high contrast imaging and spectroscopy of dozens of individual nearby exoplanets. WFIRST is designed for a 6 year mission, and will launch on an Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) out of Cape Canaveral. The NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is issuing this Sources Sought synopsis to solicit information about potential sources for WFIRST Spaceflight Sensor Chip Assemblies (SCAs) Detector Module Subassembly. The spaceflight SCA Detectors shall meet the requirements as described in the draft excerpt from the Statement of Work, which is attached to this synopsis. NASA is seeking capabilities from large and all categories of small businesses and HBCU/MSIs for the purpose of determining the appropriate level of competition and small business and HBCU/MSI subcontracting goals for this requirement. Interested offerors having the necessary specialized capabilities to meet our requirements outlined in the attached document should submit a brief capability statement. This capability statement should indicate the ability to be the Prime Contractor or Subcontractor and perform all aspects of the effort described herein. It is insufficient to provide only general brochures or generic information. Additionally, your responses must include the following: name and address of firm, size of business; whether they are large, small, small disadvantaged, 8(a), HUBZone, and/or woman-owned, affiliate information: parent company, joint venture partners, potential teaming partners, and a summary of past relevant experience with the components mentioned above. Technical and procurement questions should be directed to: Shanita Boykin at (301) 286-3220 or shanita.l.boykin@nasa.gov. It is requested that capability statements be submitted as described in the previous paragraphs by electronic mail to: Shanita Boykin at shanita.l.boykin@nasa.gov, no later than 5:00 PM ET on Thursday, March 16, 2017. It is emphasized that this synopsis is for planning and information purposes only and is NOT to be construed as a commitment by the Government to enter into a contractual agreement, nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Upon review of the information provided to NASA, it is the Government's intent to release a "Request for Proposal", which could lead to a contract award. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement. The Government reserves the right to consider a small business based on responses hereto. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps. It is the potential offeror's responsibility to monitor this site for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. An ombudsman has been appointed -- See NASA Specific Note "B". Questions regarding this notice should be directed to the point of contacts listed below.
