Description
NASA/MSFC has a requirement for the Integrated Technical Standards System (ITSS). The ITSS provides Agency wide NASA users and NASA contractors with effective access to technical standards from Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs) through a fully integrated and seamless system. NASA/MSFC intends to acquire these services from Information Handling Services, Inc. on a sole source basis. Competition is impractical for the following reasons:
IHS holds exclusive distribution licenses with several of the SDOs which are critical to NASA’s mission. These include Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), Aerospace Industries Association/National Aerospace Standards (AIA/NAS), and the Underwriters Laboratories (UL). 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 Michael Thomas by email at michael.r.thomas@nasa.gov or fax (256)544-5028 no later than 4:30 p.m. CST on July 5, 2011. 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. The installation Ombudsman is Robin N. Henderson at robin.n.henderson@nasa.gov.
