This testing supports the upcoming Block 1B Cargo mission and other Space Launch Systems (SLS) work. NASA/MSFC intends to procure these cards from Alta Data Technologies (AltaDT) on a sole source basis. The PCIE4L-1553 interface modules and cable assemblies are proprietary to AltaDT. AltaDT designs and manufactures the PCIE4L1553 interface modules and cable assemblies. They are the sole manufacturer and North American distributor. The AltaDT PCIE4L-1553 interface modules provide four channels of dual redundant MIL-STD-1553 with dual function Bus Controller/Monitor (BC/Mon) or Multi Remote Terminal/Monitor (mRT/Mon) capability. These interface modules come with the proprietary advanced, modular software package, AltaAPI ™, providing portability between applications written for PCI/PCIe based products. The Government intends to acquire this 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 (janet.l.appleton@nasa.gov) no later than May 19, 2020 by 4:30p.m. CST. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for determining whether 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. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable.
