- Description
- NASA/LaRC has a requirement for Carbon NanoTube (CNT) Yarns exceeding 1 meter used to embed in polymer sheet. NASA/LaRC intends to purchase the items from Nanotech Institute at the University of Texas at Dallas. The requested items are Carbon NanoTube (CNT) yarns that will be used to embed in a polymer sheet for enhancement of mechanical strength and measurement of strain distribution in the sheet -- multifunctionality. The arns are very small in diameter that is 2 ~ 10 micrometers, and a total required lenth is 40 meters with 20 meters of 2-ply and 4-ply each. These CNT yarns have a density-normalized failure stress of minimum 300 MPa per gram per cubic centimeter, strain-to-failure (Toughness) of 20 J/g or better, and electrical conductivity at room temperature is 300 S/cm or better. Others are not electrically conductive and cannot be used as multifunctional materials for the specified project. There are no other sources available for this material. Sole Source authority for this procurement is FAR 13.106-1. 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 4:30 p.m. local time on 7/29/2005. 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.
