NASA/GSFC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Essential
Services Node (ESN) MIL-STD 1553B/1773 Interface UTMC UT69R00
Microcontroller 2 Industry Standard 8251 parts; Industry Standard 8255
Port Device; 16-Bit Serial to Parallel and Parallel to Serial
Converter; Industry Standard 8254 Counter/Time; 96 KW of Onboard Memory
Analog Power Strobing Sleep Mode to Save Power; Watchdog Timer;
Subsecond Timer; 12-Bit A/D Converter; Flexible; Data-Driven and
Event-Driven Data Capture and Event Sequencing; Time Management
Service; CCSDS Telemetry and Command Packet Support; 12-Bit A/D
Converter. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified
Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items
from Honeywell Incorporated. The Essential Services Node (ESN) is a
unique MCM computer system with no equivalent, developed jointly by
Honeywell and NASA/GSFC for spaceflight distributed computer systems.
Several different systems have been designed by NASA/GSFC and industry
to use the ESN as a central processor, including communications
components, power systems, attitude control systems, and space flight
instruments. This procurement is for 2 ESN's to be integrated into the
Harris High Rate User Phased Array Antenna (HRUPAA). Any attempt to
integrate a different part or system of parts in place of the ESN would
cause an unacceptable cost increase, schedule delays of greater than
one year, and jeopardize the anticipated KA-Band Technology
Demonstation on the NPOESS Preparitory Project (NPP) Satellite. The
authority is 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1), Only One Responsbile Source. 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 5/26/00. 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. See Internet Note "B". Any
