- Description
- This is a notice of intent to issue a sole source contract to Phillip�s Machine and Welding Company, Inc. DBA Phillips Aerospace located at 16125 East Gale Ave., City of Industry, CA 91745. The National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) is responsible for the operation of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) geostationary and polar orbiting meteorological satellites. The Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO) provides a wide array of operational products and operates various computer and communications systems on a 24-hour, seven days a week schedule. The Boeing Spacecraft Emulators (BSEs) are located at NOAA Satellite Operations Facility (NSOF) in Suitland, MD and at the Wallops Command and Data Acquisition Station (WCDAS) in Wallops Island, VA. These four (4) BSEs are high-fidelity simulation platforms used in place of the Geostationary Orbiting Environmental Satellite (GOES) satellites for operational procedure design and validation, as well as for mission and on-station rehearsals and ground system tests in support of pre-launch, stationkeeping maneuvers, and other special operations. The BSEs combine environmental, orbital, and spacecraft subsystem models with non-linear simulations of the spacecraft dynamics; and they integrate them with hardware-based, functional facsimiles of the spacecraft electronics to produce high-fidelity spacecraft simulators. When the BSE is connected to the GOES N-P Telemetry and Command System (GTACS) and the MDL Receive System and Server (MRS&S), an operator can essentially ""fly the spacecraft on the ground.� A sole source justification was prepared in accordance with FAR Subpart 13.501. The statute permitting this sole source acquisition is 41 U.S.C. 1901, as authorized by FAR 13.500(a) and implemented by FAR 13.501(a).� This notice is not a request for competitive quotes or proposals; however, any vendor that believes it can fully meet the Government�s Requirements may submit written documentation affirmatively demonstrating its ability to meet the Government�s Requirements to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist, listed below, within five (5) calendar days of the notice�s posted date. Vendor documentation submitted in response to this notice will be considered only to determine whether to proceed with the intended sole source acquisition. A determination by the Government not to conduct a competitive acquisition based on potential submissions to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Any documentation submitted in response to this notice is strictly voluntary. Therefore, the Government: 1) will not pay for any documentation submitted in response to this notice; and 2) will not award a contract solely based on documentation submitted in response to this notice. �
