The Fast Assessment of Solutions, Therapeutics, Pharmaceuticals, and Supplies (FASTPASS) program, under solicitation ARPA-H-SOL-26-160, is an initiative by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) to develop a near real-time, non-destructive, AI-enabled screening system. The goal is to identify contamination, adulteration, and quality defects in pharmaceutical products through their packaging at ports of entry and other supply-chain nodes using multi-modal sensing and data fusion. This 54-month program is structured into three 18-month phases, culminating in a fieldable platform with validated training materials and integrated documentation capabilities. This procurement is conducted as a multiple-award Other Transaction (OT) Agreement rather than a standard federal contract, meaning it is governed by specific OT articles instead of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Awards are based on the most advantageous proposals, with primary evaluation factors including innovation, soundness, execution planning, risk management, and team expertise. Payments are fixed and triggered by the successful completion of milestones, managed through the Payment Management System. Proposers must be registered in SAM.gov and provide detailed technical and cost proposals, including a milestone payment schedule and research security disclosures. Amendment 01 specifically updated the cost proposal narrative model and workbook to correct typographical errors and rename appendices.

Full Description

NASA Langley has a requirement for Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation(NGSC), the Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Instrument contractor, to provide highly specialized post-launch sustaining engineering services, including engineering support for flight software maintenance, anomaly resolution, and other instrument engineering support necessary for the successful operation of the CERES Flight Model (FM)1, FM2, FM3, FM4, FM5, and FM6 instruments as well as deactivation/de-orbit support as needed. NASA intends to issue an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract and to issue task orders as necessary for support to the CERES instruments. The period of performance is anticipated to be five years. Because of its long history of developing, fabricating, calibrating, and testing the CERES instruments, NGSC is the only source capable of providing the post-launch support. NGSC's unique knowledge of the instrument technology, including the instrument software, technology, testing processes and previously resolved technical issues and upgrades make NGSC the only source capable of providing the required services within the timeframe required and without substantial duplication of cost. 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 in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. eastern standard time on 30 APR 18. 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.
