- Description
- This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice of a proposed contract action in accordance with FAR 5.201.� NASA/John F. Kennedy Space Center intends to award follow-on indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts to J.P. Donovan Construction Co, Inc, Precision Fabricating and Cleaning Co, Inc., and EMF, Inc., for services required for the fabrication, assembly, and test of Ground Support Equipment to include mechanical, electrical, and fluids hardware necessary to support ground systems processing of flight hardware.� The proposed Ground Support Equipment IDIQ will be awarded using Other than Full and Open Competition procedures citing the authority at 10 U.S.C. 3204(b)(B), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), for the continued provision of highly specialized services on systems supporting crewed Artemis launches. These highly specialized systems are subject to human-rated requirements for ground support equipment, as cited in NPR 8705.2C �Human-Rating Requirements for Space Systems.�� Awards to sources other than the original sources would result in unacceptable delays and possible unsatisfactory performance in fulfilling the agency's needs. Currently, there are several critical hardware subsystems in work for Mobile Launchers 1 and 2, any subsequent awards to a new contractor would introduce unacceptable risk and delays to mission schedules, as they may not possess the necessary skills/labor/experience to continue operations on complex systems contained within the ground support equipment. This synopsis does not constitute an Invitation for Bids (IFB) or a Request for Proposal (RFP) nor does it restrict the Government as to its ultimate acquisition approach.� The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this notice nor will it reimburse firms for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to joshua.giraud@nasa.gov no later than 3:00 PM EST on September 22, 2023.� Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis.� A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition on a full and open competitive basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. 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
