Measurement and data analysis services for NASA irad project

Added: Dec 01, 2015 12:20 pm NASA/GSFC has a requirement for MEASUREMENT AND DATA ANALYSIS SERVICES FOR NASA IRAD PROJECT: "Target Study for a NASA Planetary Bio-Indicator Lidar Instrument".

NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Science and Engineering Services, Inc. because the Bio-Indicator Lidar instrument by SES, Inc. is a unique instrument that meets all technical requirements of the field measurement for the NASA GSFC IRAD project "Target Study for a NASA Planetary Bio-Indicator Lidar Instrument". Development of an instrument with similar capabilities and measurement services will not fit in the IRAD budget and its work plan.

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 Kristal Kerr via email at kristal.kerr@nasa.gov no later than 4:30 p.m. local time on 12/16/2015. 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. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/p ub_library/Omb.html .
