NASA/GRC has a requirement for Data Acquisition Units. The units will be for the second test launch of NASA's Space Launch System. NASA/GRC intends to purchase the units solely from Teletronics Technology Corporation (TTC), Newtown, PA 18940.

View moreNASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) intends to procure Data Acquisition Units (DAUs) required for the second test launch of the Space Launch System. The government plans to issue a sole-source award to Teletronics Technology Corporation (TTC) in Newtown, Pennsylvania, under the authority of FAR Part 12 for commercial items. This procurement is identified by solicitation number NNC16577650Q and falls under NAICS code 334519, Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing, and PSC code 58.
The rationale for the sole-source award is based on preventing a duplication of costs that would not be recovered through competition. These costs include previous investments in engineering model DAUs, qualification testing, and the integration of the Development Flight Instrumentation (DFI) system design with the avionics design managed by NASA and its primary contractors, Boeing and ATK. A transition to a new supplier would necessitate the replacement of existing hardware and redundant testing, as well as new training for the programming and configuration of the units.
Organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing to the point of contact, Daniel M. Saccomando, by 4:30 p.m. local time on March 7, 2016. These submissions will be used to determine if the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis, though the final decision remains within the government's discretion. The place of performance is Newtown, Pennsylvania, and there are currently no attachments associated with this notice.
