About this file

This is a Questions and Answers document from a federal contracting solicitation addressing inquiries about hardware procurement for Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC).

The NCS Flex-11 cabinet is manufactured by NCS Technologies, Inc., located at 9601 Discovery Blvd., Manassas, VA 20109, with sales contact at (703) 743-8500. Equivalent cabinets from other manufacturers will not be accepted as this custom solution was created for the specific need and use case. The award includes hardware delivery only with no installation services at MSFC. Regarding CITM authorization and manufacturer authorization letters for Corning fiber cables and Black Box items, the government indicated uncertainty and expects these items to proceed through normal procurement and Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) processes. Corning items are identified as fiber cables only. The responses indicate that formal requirements for vendor submissions related to CITM authorization and manufacturer authorizations have not been definitively established and should follow standard federal procurement protocols.
