About this opportunity
This Special Notice from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Goddard Space Flight Center concerns continuing the generation of standard data products from the Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere instrument on the Terra spacecraft. The purpose of this notice is to acquire these services on a sole source basis from the National Center for Atmospheric Research/University Corporation for Atmosphere Research.
The Special Notice details NASA's intent to issue a sole source contract to NCAR/UCAR to ensure the continued generation of standard products from the MOPITT instrument in accordance with the Earth Science Data and Information System Project. Interested parties may submit capabilities and qualifications by March 2, 2024 to be considered for conducting this acquisition on a competitive basis. However, NASA retains sole discretion to conduct this acquisition non-competitively. The work includes algorithm software development and maintenance, quality assessment and validation of data products, as well as documentation development and preservation to provide valuable earth observation data to civilian agencies, the intelligence community, and the private sector.
Notice text
Synopsis- Notice of Intent to Sole Source
NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) has a requirement for the Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) Science Investigator-led Processing System (SIPS) in support of the Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Project. The purpose of this contract is to ensure the continued generation of the standard data products from the MOPITT instrument, one of five instruments currently in operations on the Terra spacecraft. Terra, launched in December 1999 and is one of several spacecrafts that are part of NASA’s Earth Science Division’s Earth Observing System (EOS) Program. The MOPITT SIPS must produce standard products in accordance with the EOS Project Science Office and the MOPITT Science Team’s approved algorithms. These algorithms are currently generated under the Principal Investigator (PI) and Team Leader (TL) support for MOPITT. The products generated offer valuable utility to other civilian agencies, the intelligence community, and the private/public sector. The work includes the development and maintenance of algorithmic software, quality assessment and validation of data products, and the development and maintenance of respective documentation and preservation of product information.
NASA/(GSFC) intends to issue a sole source contract to acquire these services from the National Center for Atmospheric Research/University Corporation for Atmosphere Research (NCAR/UCAR) in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
If not acquiring a commercial item include the following: The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to Ravi Chandan Palaniandy at ravichandan.palaniandy@nasa.gov not later than 4:30pm EST on March 2, 2024. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at: https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/Procurement-Ombuds-Comp-Advocate-Listing.pdf
