- Description
- NASA/ARC has a requirement for mechanical and thermal sub-stages, test fixtures anddata acquisition software to conduct testing of thermal protection materials (lightweight ceramic composites and ablators) inside the existing environmental ScanningElectron Microscope(SEM) (SEM model # FEI XL-30) chamber. This will facilitate thein-situ monitoring of materials behavior when subjected to various mechanical tests,including uni-axial tensile test, compression test, 3-point and 4-point bend tests. TheSEM Substages have to be custom designed to fit the unique needs of integration withexisting SEM. The design of the load frame has to be compatible with the limited spaceinside the chamber; it should be able to use the ports that are available in SEM forpower feed through. The stages have to be coupled with specimen heaters for testing atelevated temperatures. Similarly for very low temperature tests the stages have to becooled by cooling device. NASA/ARC intends to purchase the items from Ernest F. Fullam Inc, by authority of FAR13.106-1 (b)1, one source reasonably available.The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to RanjeetaMukhyala at Ranjeeta.C.Mukhyala@nasa.gov not later than 2:00 p.m. PST on august,26,2008.Please reference NNA08261912 in any response. Such capabilities/qualifications will beevaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct thisprocurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete thisproposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to thisnotice, 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. See NASA Specific Note "B".
