LaVision High Speed Camera

Added: Aug 05, 2016 11:29 am NASA/LARC has a requirement for a LaVision Photron SA-Z 2100K High-Speed Camera and Programmable Timing Unit.
NASA/LARC intends to purchase the items from LaVision. LaVision is the manufacturer of other cameras currently at NASA LaRC and the sole distributor of this camera. In order to ensure continuity among experimental data, the same camera must be purchased. It would take substantial duplication of resources and time for another source to provide the required service and this additional expense is not expected to be recovered through competition.

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 12:00 p.m. local time on 08/10/2016. 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.

NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable.
