E-MAIL: Mary F. Thomas, mary.f.thomas1@jsc.nasa.gov. NASA/JSC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a Versa Module Eurocard (VME) Digital Signal Processor for the Automation, Robotics and Simulation Division's Dexterous Manipulator Trainer (DMT). The DMT requires real-time floating point processing power capability to perform the algorithms necessary for control of a six degree of freedom hydraulic manipulator and simulate the Space Station Special Purpose Dexterous Manipulator. Requirements: four TMS320C6701 floating point 167 megahertz processors residing as bus masters on the VME bus providing A32 addressing and D16 data access; at least 16 megabytes random access memory; at least 256 kilobytes random access memory accessible from the VME bus; data transfer rates greater than 100 megabytes per second; VME memory-mapped host port for all processors; J-TAG controller for download and debug of code through VME bus; development tools compatible with VMIC 7588 processor board; and Windows NT/Texas Instruments Code Composer development tools. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/JSC intends to purchase the items from Cowboy Industries, Inc., Lewisville, Texas. Cowboy Industries is the only known source that can provide a Digital Signal Processor which allows download through the backplane with minimal hardware and software changes. The Government intends 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 January 14, 2000. 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. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
