A -- ENGINEERING INTEGRATION OF MIL-STD-1553 DATA BUS MONITORING & RECORDING OF DATA FROM A GE F-110 ENGINE. SOL 3-144047 DUE 030800 POC Gloria J. Rhyner, Contract Specialist, Phone (216) 433-2794, Fax (216) 433-5489, Email Gloria.J.Rhyner@grc.nasa.gov WEB: Click here for the latest information about this notice, http://nais.msfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/EPS/bizops.cgi?gr=D&pin=22#3-144047. E-MAIL: Gloria J. Rhyner, Gloria.J.Rhyner@grc.nasa.gov. NASA/GRC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for engineering integration of MIL-STD-1553 data bus monitoring and recording of data from a GE F-110 engine. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/GRC intends to purchase the items from Mr. John Sullivan, under the authority of 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1), only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This function must be tightly coupled with the recording function and timing with the existing Glenn Dynamic data systems. Working knowledge of Concurrent Hardware, its Operating System and interrupts and the Creare Data Acquisition software running on the same Concurrent computer is mandatory. The 1553 data bus recording will be required for a July 1, 2000, project and for all future JSF engines tested in Propulsion Systems Laboratory. This same integration should also provide serial engine data stream recording capability to the same Concurrent computer for older model engines. Mr. John Sullivan is recognized as an expert in Systems Analysis and integration. He has provided his expertise to GRC in the past as a former System Engineer for Masscomp/concurrent Computer Corporation. He has also provided expert analysis and integration of the serial data stream from older Pratt & Whitney engines to Glenn Dynamic Data Systems. Contacting engine manufacturers and computer companies have provided no other solutions for this application. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. 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 March 8, 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.
