About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has issued a Special Notice indicating their intent to award a sole source contract for six (6) Vision Research S991 High Speed Digital (HSD) cameras to Vision Research Inc. These cameras are required to integrate with NASA's existing Camera Record and Control System (CRCS) architecture and possess specific technical capabilities that only the Vision Research cameras can provide.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform interested parties of NASA's plan to procure the cameras from Vision Research Inc. on a sole source basis under FAR Part 12, as the company owns the full proprietary rights to the Phantom Cameras and does not utilize resellers. However, NASA is soliciting written statements of capabilities from any interested parties that believe they can meet the requirement by May 15, 2024. NASA will evaluate these submissions to determine if conducting a competitive procurement would be advantageous to the government, reserving the discretion to make a final decision on the acquisition approach.
Notice text
THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD A SOLE SOURCE CONTRACT AND IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTES.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Information Technology Procurement Office (ITPO) intends to issue a sole source contract for six (6) Vision Research S991 High Speed Digital (HSD) cameras, to:
Vision Research Inc.
100 Dey Rd.
Wayne, NJ 07470
These cameras are the only qualified cameras, with regards to spatial resolution, temporal resolution as well as vibration and electromatic interference. The newly procured cameras will integrate into existing architecture and are compatible with the currently used and installed Camera Record and Control System (CRCS).
The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition for acquisitions using the procedures in FAR subpart 13.5 is 41 U.S.C. 1901 due to the Vision Research Inc. cameras being the only cameras that are compatible and can integrate into the currently installed systems. Further, Vision Research Inc. owns the Full Proprietary Rights to the Phantom Cameras and designed accessories. Vision Research Inc. does not use resellers for this type of specialty equipment and integration.
The Government does intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
This synopsis does not constitute a solicitation; however, if any interested party believes they can meet the above requirement, it may submit a statement of capabilities. The statement of capabilities must be submitted in writing and must contain clear and convincing evidence that competition of this requirement would be advantageous to the Government. If parties choose to respond, any cost associated with preparation and submission of data, or any other cost incurred in response to this announcement are the sole responsibility of the respondent and will not be reimbursed by the Government.
Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to Sabrina Pearson at sabrina.m.pearson@nasa.gov not later than 4:00 p.m. (CST) on May 15, 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
