Description

NASA/KSC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for The Mathworks software licenses on a sole source basis. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/KSC intends to purchase the items from The Mathworks, Natic, MA. Unique applications require these licenses be installed. The acquisition of any other software would entail unacceptable technical risk to existing processes, procedures, and data files that are used to perform mission analysis. Mathworks is the only vendor that provides licenses for Matlab software. 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 6/1/01. 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 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.
