NASA/KSC has a sole source requirement for QuBit DS, Quantity 1 and accessories. NASA/KSC intends to purchase the items from QuVis, Inc. 2921 SW Wanamaker Dr., Suite 107, Topeka, KS 66614. The QuBit DS digital recorder/player is the only unit that will be compatible with the recording format already selected for use in the Video cameras by the Ground Camera Project. Therefore, the only way the KSC Image Analysis Team can review and analyze the imagery is to procure one of these units. 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 the identified point of contact not later than 2:00 p.m. local time on December 6, 2004. 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.
