- Description
- NASA/LaRC has a requirement for a Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA) with Autosampler and high resolution and modulation modes (TA Instruments Model Q500) to measure weight loss, polymer decomposition and residue along with additional thermal test. The patented High-resolution and modulated functions of this unit allow for resolution of over-lapping signals and greater model free kinetics. NASA/LaRC intends to purchase the items from TA Instruments, which contains the Patents 165,792; 6,113,261; and 6,336,741 and is the only manufacturer of the equipment that is compatible with the existing equipment consisting of a TGA, TA Instruments Model 2950; a Thermomechanical Analyzer (TMA) with Mechanical cooling accessor (MCA), TA Instruments Model Q400; and a TGA, TA Instruments Model Q500. Additionally, a trade-in TGA, TA Instruments Model 2950, worth approximately $22,050 will be credited for this acquisition. This purchase will allow the laboratory to complete required testing and analysis of advanced polymeric materials. 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 13 December 2007. 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.
