E-MAIL: David D. Reeves, David.Reeves-1@ksc.nasa.gov. NASA/KSC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Citect Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Software, catalog numbers CT-015K/F/500/C, CT-1500-15K, DC-015K, DC-5000-15K, and MN-150K. Delivery of the items will be required in December of 1999. NASA/KSC intends to purchase the items from Ci Technologies, Incorporated, under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), FAR 6.302-1, as the only source that will satisfy Agency requirements. KSC has previously purchased Citect SCADA software for the same Complex Control Set (CCS)Project. That purchase was advertised on the Internet and in the Commerce Business Daily in June of this year. Award for other than Citect software would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government. The Citect software provides redundant fail over to a backup I/O server with no loss of I/O data. It supports the OLE for Process Control (OPC) standard for OPC servers and clients and it supports the CCS hardware (Modicon Quantum PLCs). This procurement isbeing conducted using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested firms have until 4:30 EST November 15, 1999, to submit in writing to the identified point of contact, their qualifications/capabilities which will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. Responses received after 4:30 EST November 15, 1999, will be considered nonresponsive to the synopsis and will not be considered. A determination by the Government to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competitive basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. FAX communications are acceptable in response to this notice. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See Internet Note "B".
