- Description
- NASA/ARC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a Shelf Freeze Dryer for use in the Thermal Protection Materials and Systems Branch. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/ARC intends to purchase the items from from The VerTis Company of Gardiner, NY under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), only one responsible source based on the fact that this unit is needed to duplicate an identical unit in the current ceramic process line. The model to be purchased is the Genesis 25EL, 5-shelf Square-Chambered Freeze Dryer, with a 255 liter per minute vacuum pump, five standard 316L Stainless steel 10" x 20" trays, hydraulic ram, and Wizard automated control system. Specific operational and safety procedures have been developed based on the capabilities of this system. The duplicate VerTis unit is also required because of the cost savings to the Government relating to instrument training, repair, and spare parts inventory. 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 12:30 p.m. local time on July 18, 2002. 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.
