E-MAIL: Sandra J Tetley, sandra.j.tetley1@jsc.nasa.gov. NASA/JSC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for one (1) Kinoton FP-38ECII High Speed Studio Projector for film formats 16mm and 35mm modified for full film frame projection. Projector must be equipped with 6 selectable and programable speeds 1-40 fps; shuttle speeds of 300 fps in 35mm and 400 fps in 16 mm -- forward and reverse running; remote focusing and framing; universal studio lamphouse 1000/2000W with electric dowser and heat filter; without sound heads. Additional accessories required as follows: one (1) remote control panel (19' rack mount without box); one (1) IREM electronic rectifier, EX 100 G3, for xenon lamps up to 2000w; one (1) Osram xenon lamp XBO 1000W/HSC ofr; one (1) 40mm ISCO Ultra Star HD studio projection lens; and one (1) 95mm ISCO Ultra Star HD studio projection lens. Quotes should include installation and training for 3 days. This equipment is to be used to improve and maintain the capability to screen and analyze 35mm/16mm launch film relating to the Space Shuttleprogram. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/JSC intends to purchase these items from Boston Light and Sound, Inc. in Boston, MA. Shuttle launch and landing film is screened and analyzed for unusual events that may have safety implications to the Space Shuttle program. Requirements for the necessary projector are very specialized and include: ability to view a 35mm and 16mm flicker free film projection in forward and reverse at various speeds (0-24 frames/sec); maintain a motionless, single frame for extended periods of time without damaging the condition of the film; advance/reverse by a single frame at the operator's control; and display a full frame in order to observe timing information outside of a normal viewing area. A Government market survey concluded that the Kinoton FP 38 EC II is the only non-custom built studio projector that meets or exceeds these special requirements. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government to purchase this commercially available equipment with these special requirements. Boston Light and Sound, Inc., is the North American distributor of German-made Kinoton products and is the only known qualified source. In accordance with FAR 6.302-1 and U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition stating a unique source is being prepared. Technical questions should be directed to the Technical Monitor for this procurement, Gregory Byrne at (281) 483-0500. 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 July 28, 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 to not 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.
