Description

Synopsis:

NASA/NSSC has a requirement for RLS-2100 CONFIGURATION 150/2 SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS CHANNEL SIMULATOR.

NASA/NSSC intends to issue a sole source contract to SQUARE PEG COMMUNICATIONS under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). It has been determined that SQUARE PEG COMMUNICATIONS is the manufacturer that can provide the equipment that is compatible with NASA instruments already in place.

NASA/NSSC will be the procuring center for this effort. Performance will be located at NASA/ Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC).

The Government intends to acquire commercial items and services using the provisions, clauses and procedures prescribed in FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13.

The NAICS Code for this procurement is 334516

Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 11:59 a.m. EASTERN Standard Time on 10/4/2024.

Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.

NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html .

Background
NASA/NSSC has a requirement for the RLS-2100 Configuration 150/2 Satellite Communications Channel Simulator. NASA intends to issue a sole source contract to Square Peg Communications, which is the manufacturer capable of providing equipment compatible with existing NASA instruments. The procurement will be managed by NASA/NSSC, with performance taking place at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC).

Work Details
The contract involves the acquisition of the RLS-2100 Configuration 150/2 Satellite Communications Channel Simulator. The total estimated cost for this effort is $142,390.00, and the estimated lead-time for delivery is 30 days after award.

The simulator is designed to meet specific requirements for earth-orbit satellite communications within the 406 MHz and S-band frequencies. Market research indicated that other vendors could not meet NASA's requirements or would incur significantly higher costs. For example, quotes from IZT Technologies LLC and Kratos RT Logic Inc were received, with IZT's quote being approximately twice the cost of Square Peg's solution, and Kratos' configuration requiring additional costly integration.

Period of Performance
30 days after award.

Place of Performance
NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)
