- Description
- NASA/GRC has a requirement for research on a new aviation safety issue in icing that has to do with ice crystal and mixed phase atmospheric icing conditions. A very specialized icing wind tunnel facility is required to conduct the mixed phase and ice particle testing. The facility must be capable of generating stable, calibrated mixed phase icing conditions on demand. The facility also needs to generate different types of ice particles to evaluate the response to different shaped ice particles (spherical, irregular). The icing wind tunnel must allow unobstructed visual access to facilitate the use of NASA Glenn high-speed close-up imaging systems. The facility must be located in the United States to minimize the travel associated with testing at this facility. The chosen facility will be used to perform tests to determine how these conditions effect aircraft engines, how to measure and determine the formation mechanisms, and how to simulate these natural conditions in a controlled, and repeatable ground test facility to understand and, eventually, replicate these phenomena. NASA/GRC intends to purchase the items from LeClerc Icing Research Laboratory (Cox and Company Inc.) 200 Varick Street, New York, NY 10014 using 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements as its justification. 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 October 10, 2006. 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.
