Description

NASA plans to renew its agreement with IMAX Space, Ltd. (“IMAX”), to enable collaborative production of an additional large format 3D film on the International Space Station (ISS). This collaboration builds upon the recent release of the IMAX 3D film SPACE STATION, produced in cooperation with NASA, which is now one of the top-20 grossing films in the United States. The new film will document completion of Station assembly as the Japanese and European laboratories are attached and the tempo of activities on ISS accelerates. In the new film collaboration, NASA and IMAX seek to create a sequel of similar technical quality, educational content, and popular appeal. NASA has selected IMAX for this additional ISS film opportunity because IMAX has developed the only space-certified large format 3D camera system available to ensure seamless documentation of the completion of ISS assembly. In initiating this collaboration, NASA does not seek to preclude, and indeed welcomes, proposals for additional large format film collaborations involving other NASA activities. Moreover, at an appropriate time, NASA intends to announce future opportunities for large format film collaborations on the fully assembled ISS. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). 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. local time on 09/16/2002. 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. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
