- Description
- NASA/White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) intends to continue purchasing services from Jacobs Technology under the Test, Evaluation, and Support Team (TEST2) contract during the period until a follow-on contract is awarded. The continuation of the TEST2 contract is anticipated not to exceed six-months from the current contract expiration of September 30, 2021. It is expected the TEST2 extension will consist of one 4-month base with two 1-month options.� Currently, only Jacobs has the capability to provide ongoing critical support services without incurring in unacceptable delays. WSTF requires services in the areas of propulsion subsystem and system testing, propellants and aerospace fluids materials and components testing, remote hazardous testing, hypervelocity impact testing, flight hardware processing, technical services, training, quality, safety and health, facility maintenance, communication systems, and construction management. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is per 10 USC 2304(c)(1), as implemented by the provisions of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), which states, ""For DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, services may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition or unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements."" 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 4:30 p.m. local time on September 15, 2021.� 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. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/Procurement-Ombuds-Comp-Advocate-Listing.pdf
