Description
NASA/Goddard Space and Flight Center (GSFC) intends to award a fixed-price Purchase Order on a sole source basis to L-3 Communications for a Cadet Nanosat Radio, Part Number 5071-0001, CubeSat Integrated Communications System (CICS). NASA intends to purchase the item from L-3 Communications pursuant to FAR 13.106, for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available from only one source.
The radio has been flight proven and is only manufactured by L-3 Communications. NASA will be utilizing the Cadet Radio on a Simulation to Flight-1(STF-1) CubeSat effort. This effort will be leveraging the flight software from the Dellingr mission and as a result, will reuse the radio flight software component. In order to do this, the STF-1 mission is required to utilize the same radio. Based on the above, it is concluded that our minimum needs are only reasonably available from the selected source.
The scheduled period of performance is 6 months and the total value of the order shall be below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.
The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
Interested organizations may submit their interest and capability by responding to this requirement by April 12, 2015, 5:00 pm Eastern time. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all interest received on or before April 12, 2015 will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received as a result of the notice of intent will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. No solicitation document is available.
