Vendor: Cage Code # If you do not have a CAGE code number, you can obtain one by calling 1-888-227-2423. You will need a Dunn and Bradstreet number when you apply, as you will be asked for one when applying. Length of Course: 24 hours Dates: Tentative dates, September 17, 18 & 19, 2002 "The Glenn Training Officer has authority to modify the training dates by mutual agreement so long as there is no change in the order price" Classroom: Tentative, Building 15, Room 208 No. of Students: 30 students Lecture Material: Complete set of lecture notes will be provided for each student. TRANSIENT MULTIPHASE FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER AT MICROGRAVITY lu accordance with a request by NASA it is proposed to deliver a special course to NASA at Glenn Research Center- GRC (Cleveland, OH) on transient multiphase flow and heat transfer at microgravity. The content of this three day course will be delivered at GRC on September 17-19,2002 by Dr. Richard T_ Lahey, Jr. and Dr. Michael Z. Podows1d. Sole Source Justification: As can be seen in the attached vitae, both of the instructors are experts in the field of multiphase flow modeling and simulation. Moreover, Dr. Labey was a member of the NAE team, which produced the seminal NRC report (2000) on "Microgravity Research in Support of Technologies for REDS". As such, he is uniquely qualified to coordinate and deliver this course. Course Content The content of the course is summarized in the attachment. The students in this course will receive three full days of lectures, as well as hand out notes and slides covering all material presented in their lectures. There will also be a workshop session xn which the future multiphase research needs of NASA will be discussed.

This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/GRC intends to purchase the items from Professor Richard T. Lahey Jr.;Dr. Lahey was the main developer of this course and is therefore uniquely qualified to give this course having been on the team which produced the NRC report 2000 on microgravity research in support of technologies. To our knowledge noone else is qualified to teach this course. To the best of our knowledge at NASA-GRC the information that Dr. Lahey has is proprietary and therefore not available to the general public. The authority for this sole source is (FAR Regulation 13.602, 4.8, GRC-P3.9.2.2. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on 8-13-02. 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. If bidding, FAX quotations will be accepted at (216)-433-2480. If responding by U.S. Mail, send them to: NASA-GRC, 21000 Brookpark Rd., Attn: Dennis D. Pehotsky, MS 500-319, Cleveland, OH 44135. You may also respond by E-Mail at: Dennis.D.Pehotsky@grc.nasa.gov.. Sorry, due to tight time restraints, no bids will be accepted beyond the due date of 8-13-02. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B". Any referenced notes can be viewed at the following URL: http://genesis.gsfc.nasa.gov/nasanote.html
