AI Contract Overview

NASA's Kennedy Space Center intends to extend the Payload Data Management Contract (PDMS II) with Compaq Computer Corporation on a sole-source basis, as permitted under FAR 6.302-1. This extension will cover a one-month basic period with the option for four additional one-month extensions, enabling a smooth transition to the follow-on contracts, specifically either the Payload Ground Operation Contract or the Checkout Assembly and Payload Processing Services (CAPPS), scheduled for award in mid-2002. The PDMS II contract primarily involves project management and support activities such as sustaining engineering, safety and reliability quality assurance, configuration management, and site planning and installation, along with onsite expertise and maintenance of hardware and software components. Compaq has been the exclusive provider of the specialized expertise required for the PDMS II contract since its inception, including key personnel such as resident managers, project coordinators, and programming experts. Due to their unique knowledge, access to internal technical data, and experience with the program, Compaq is considered the only source capable of successfully fulfilling the contract’s requirements. This action does not constitute a formal solicitation, and no solicitation document is available. However, interested parties may submit their capabilities and qualifications by a specified deadline, with the government reserving the right to decide whether to pursue competitive procurement based on those submissions. An ombudsman has been appointed to address any concerns related to this procurement process.
