NASA Engineering and Safety Center's (NESC) Data Acquisition System

NASA/LARC has a requirement for NASA Engineering and Safety Center's (NESC) Data Acquisition System. NASA/LARC intends to purchase the items from Acra Control (Curtiss-Wright). This system is required to be used in collaboration with two other projects currently utilizing the same system. It would take substantial duplication of resources and time for another source to provide the required service and this additional expense is not expected to be recovered through competition. Provision for this JOFOC is made under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). FAR Part 13.5 procedures are used under the statutory authority of 10 USC 2304(g)(4) which requires NASA to follow 41 U.S.C.1901(e). Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 12:00 p.m. local time on 04/18/2019. 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.
