Description

This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA Ames Research Center is soliciting quotations for the refurbishment of three (3) Government supplied primary adapters in accordance with the following statement of work. The primary adapters are equipment used in the 11-foot Unitary Wind Tunnel to constrain wind tunnel models in the test section during wind tunnel testing operations. The most critical feature is the male and female tapered conical surfaces that must make almost perfect contact with one another. After a period of time, the surfaces begin to wear. After several hours of usage, the tapered surfaces must be refurbished. Drawings will be available to be transmitted electronically on request. 1. Description: Each primary adapter has a 4.5 inch and a 8.3 inch female conical taper on opposite ends. The work to be performed under this contract incorporates refurbishing both conical tapered surfaces of each primary adapter by building up the worn surfaces with chrome, machine grinding to the specified dimension, and then performing an acceptance test that requires a minimum of 85% surface contact with a customer supplied taper gage. 2. Scope of Work: Refurbish two (2) female tapered surfaces on each the three (3) furnished primary adapters as follows: 2.1. Undercut each of the female conical tapered surfaces approximately .010 inch on the radius. 2.2. Chrome plate each of the female conical tapers approximately .025 inch on the radius. Plating thickness must be sufficient enough to allow a 100% ground tapered surface. 2.3. Grind each of the plated female conical surfaces to fit the corresponding male gage. 2.4. Seated edge distance is critical. The document "Critical Item Development Specification for Mated Conical Tapered Surfaces" will be included with Purchase Order. 2.5. Chamfer the front edge of the female taper, .030 inch x 45 deg. 3. Government Furnished Equipment: Primary Adapter #SR-36 Primary Adapter # SR-41 Primary Adapter #SR-48 Gage #9758-D605-2 (8.3" male) Gage #9758-D107-2M-B (4.5" male) Drawing #A9758D102 Drawing #A9758D119B 4. Quality Management System (QMS): The Contractor shall utilize a quality program capable of providing adequate assurance that the requirements of this specification can be consistently met and compliance demonstrated. 5. Inspection: 5.1. The work shall meet the inspection requirements of the specification document entitled "Critical Item Development Specification for Mated Conical Tapered Surfaces" to be included with Purchase Order. 5.2. Three (3) copies of a Quality Assurance & Inspection Package are required, and shall incorporate the requirements listed below: 5.2.1. Each finished part shall be inspected and validated to demonstrate conformance to the specifications. The Contractor's authorized QA technician shall document compliance to each individual requirement of the drawings, and the specifications outlined in section 2. 5.2.2. Process certification for the chrome plating services incorporated in the finished parts are required. The chrome plating shall be in accordance with QQ-C-320. 5.2.3. Production travelers that outline each manufacturing/inspection operation from start to completion, initialed at each step, by a company authorized QA personnel are required. 5.3. Upon completion of three (3) primary adapters, and prior to preserving and packaging activities, NASA representatives shall perform an inspection of the parts in accordance with the inspection procedure delineated in section 5.1, at the Contractor's facility. The Quality Assurance & Inspection Package shall also be reviewed by NASA at this time. Upon acceptance of the parts and the Quality Assurance & Inspection Package by NASA, the Contractor shall ship the primary adapters, and the customer supplied gages, at the Contractor's expense, to the F.O.B. Point (NASA Ames Research Center.) 5.4. The Contractor shall notify the Government Contracting Officer 14 calendar days prior to the final in-plant inspection. 5. Delivery Schedule: Quotations will indicate the estimated amount of time for delivery of refurbished primary adapters after receipt of the purchase order. 6. Submittals 6.1. Three (3) copies of the Production Traveler shall be submitted to NASA for approval prior to fabrication. 6.2. Three (3) copies of the Quality Assurance & Inspection Package shall be submitted to NASA prior to shipping: 7. Preservation, Packaging, and Marking: The Contractor shall package for shipment all items in the same shipping containers as supplied. The shipment shall be conducted with a creditable firm that is capable of tracking the shipment in the event that any hardware should become lost during shipment. The finished parts shall be preserved in accordance with good commercial practices. The Government will pay all costs to ship two concentric primary adapters, one non-concentric adapter, and three inspection gages to the Contractor. The Contractor shall pay all shipping costs (FOB Destination) to deliver the complete equipment back to NASA Ames Research Center.
