NASA/MSFC has a requirement for a REACTION WHEEL MODULE with TORQUE RODS INCLUDED and DRIVE CONTROL ELECTRONICS for the iSAT GN&C System.

NASA/MSFC intends to purchase the items from Blue Canyon Technologies due to the fact that the Reaction Wheel Module with Torque Rods is the only option compatible with iSAT because the reaction wheels included in this module (RWp100) are the only option that meet both the GNC momentum budget requirement of greater than 70 mNms while staying within the 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm constraint of the mechanical designers. The Drive Control Electronics are the only option compatible because they are specifically designed to control the previously mentioned reaction wheels. They also control the torque rods which reduces additional development efforts and saves the project cost and schedule impacts.

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 Renatta America at renatta.r.america@nasa.gov not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on 07/07/2015. 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 .
