Description

NASA/JSC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a MiniAerCam Avionics Processor Board. See the attached board layout requirement. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/JSC intends to purchase the items from Xetel Corporation. Compatibility of the board with a previous board that is currently being built by Xetel Corporation is necessary. The current procurement is the same design, but has a larger footprint that the earlier Xetel-awarded procurement. The vendors knowledge of both boards will significantly reduce the cost to the government by eliminating coordination between two vendors. The previous board, was awarded to Xetel through a competitive procurement. A Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition stating a unique source (FAR 6.302-1) is being prepared. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and acquire as a sole-source in accordance with FAR Part 6. 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 August 31, 2001. 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.
