Tender Details

Description

NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) has a requirement for Phase E/F operations and data analysis support for the Suprathermal Ion Spectrograph (SIS) investigation under the Solar Orbiter Project. Announcement of Opportunity (AO) NNH07ZDA003O was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters on September 28, 2007. This AO solicited investigations for the Explorer Program which conducts Principal Investigator (PI)-led space science investigations in SMD's astrophysics and heliophysics programs. The Principal Investigator (PI) for this mission has transitioned his expertise to SwRI. NASA HQs selected AO for this requirement must continue its work with the PI.

NASA/GSFC intends to issue a sole-source contract for continued Phase E/F operations and data analysis support for the Suprathermal Ion Spectrograph (SIS) investigation under the Solar Orbiter Project to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1, “Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.”

The rationale supporting the use of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) Southwest Research Institute is the only organization qualified to provide the Suprathermal Ion Spectrograph instrument as described below:

SwRI shall support the SIS Mission Operations with instrument operations management, including operations planning, command scripting, trending, health and safety monitoring, data analysis and delivery, and scientific activities of the SwRI subsystems. SwRI shall also provide support to the SIS Operations with processing instrument telemetry into all instrument data products including housekeeping, engineering, calibrated, and higher-level data products for submission to the European Space Agency (ESA) Data Archive.

SwRI possesses the high-level scientific expertise of the PI who has the detailed knowledge of the SIS investigation and Solar Or...
