B -- PREDICTIVE HEALTH AND RELABILITY MANAGEMENT (PHARM) SYSTEM SOL RFO10-00-0019 DUE 032800 POC Lisa Morales, Contract Specialist, Phone (321) 867-3860, Fax (321) 867-1188, Email moralL@kscgws00.ksc.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=76#RFO10-00- 0019. E-MAIL: Lisa Morales, moralL@kscgws00.ksc.nasa.gov. NASA/KSC plans to issue a Request for Offer (RFO) for engineering support to complete development of a prototype Predictive Health and Reliability Management System which will demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of identifying components trending toward failure. This effort will complete a four-year project, started in 1997 to develop an integrated demand management system. A Predicitive Health and Reliability management system has been developed at NASA KSC and is currently being implemented for ground based and flight operations. This system helps to identify components trending toward failure and mitigate impacts to testing and logistic replenishment decisions. A PHARM approach from data acquisition to provide forecast need dates will be developed to complete a total informed maintenance cycle. This effort will link the logistics infrastructure PHARM techniques with exisiting Vehicle Health Management (VHM) systems being developed for Shuttle, SITT, and RLV at KSC and other sites. These systemswill demonstrate an integrated approach to automated checkout, failure diagnosis, repair/replacement, and logistics replenishment. NASA/KSC intends to purchase the services on a sole source basis from The Boeing Company, Boeing Space Coast Operations, KSC, Florida. The authority is 10 USC 2304(c)(1), only one responsible source will satisfy agency requirements. The PHARM is a product unique to The Boeing Company and as such they possess the unique capabilties to support NASA KSC requirements. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. Interested firms have 15 days from the publication of this synopsis to submit in writing to the identified point of contact, their qualifications/capabilities. Such qualifications/capabilities will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis.
