Description
The NASA Glenn Research Center at Lewis Field has a requirement for educational and outreach support for NASA’s Orion Program. The Contractor will provide technical graphic and information design expertise, creative ideas, participate in outreach activities, and production of graphic solution for social media, public engagement and STEM outreach. The period of performance is from Feb 2014 to Feb 2015.
NASA/GRC intends to contract to Alphaport, Inc. This is a follow-on effort to activities originally performed by Alphaport under contract NNC13QB53P in which Alphaport developed a visually library of Orion illustrations, graphics facts sheets, and other media products. Currently, Alphaport is the only contractor who has develop the initial media material and has the needed understanding of the media activities to complete the SOW requirements in the limited time available to support Orion Exploration Flight Test 1. Selection of another design contractor would likely cost additional monies to duplicate development of current information and develop the overall project knowledge and understanding currently held by Alphaport in the short timeframe available.
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 the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. EST on 1/30/14.

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.
