NASA Langley Research Center intends to procure 31 B225.5 ultrasonic sensors with 0.75 tall casings and 31 PA20 preamplifiers from Digital Wave Corporation. These space qualified components are required for phase one testing of the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, which is scheduled for launch to the International Space Station during phase two. The agency has identified Digital Wave Corporation as the sole source because these specific models are already flight certified for the ISS, and the cost of certifying alternative sensors would be prohibitively expensive. The procurement will be conducted as a commercial item acquisition under FAR Part 12. Interested organizations were invited to submit their capabilities and qualifications by September 26, 2011, to determine if the procurement would be competitive. The government maintains sole discretion over whether to compete the effort, noting that the contractor's specific experience with spaceflight ultrasonic sensors is unavailable from other sources.
