E-MAIL: Rosalia Toberman, rosalia.toberman@dfrc.nasa.gov. NASA/DFRC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Orcad Capture CIS (network/seat). Trade-In Accel Schematics This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/DFRC intends to purchase the items from Cadence Design Systems, Inc. The Orcad Printed Circuit Board (PCB) software package available through Cadence Design Systems, Inc. has been and is currently being used to design the circuit boards. Many of the schematics diagrams generated using different software programs are incompatible or need numerous adjustments in order to exchange information with Orcad. It has been recommended that DFRC standardize the engineering too for PCB design. A great amount of training and experience has already been invested in using the software. Purchasing a different PCB design package would require extensive training from the vendor in addition to a large amount of time to become proficient and efficient. Also, a different package would be incompatible with the numerous designs completed using Orcad. 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 6/13/00. 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.
