- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared inaccordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additionalinformation included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the onlysolicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. If you are viewing this solicitation on the fedbizops website, you must check the NASABusiness website for amendments and other forms. http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=D&pin=22 It is theofferors responsiblity to check the NASA Business website for any amendments. BACKGROUND:NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) Structures and Materials Division is engaged in R&D ofadvanced composite material/structural concepts for future application in turbine enginecase/blade containment system components. As part of this R&D effort there is arecurring/intermittent need for composite specimens of various fiber/textile and polymerresin combinations and manufactured via resin transfer molding processes. Thisprocurement is intended to acquire tooling design and fabrication for, andrecurring/intermittent manufacturing of, fiber/textile preform reinforced polymer resinmatrix composite panels which would be subsequently used by NASA for material propertytesting and subcomponent ballistic impact testing purposes.This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for the basic effort plusoptions. The basic effort consists of TASK 1, Qty. 1, Resin Transfer Molding (RTM)Tooling System; TASK 2A, Qty. 17 Composite Panels with PR 520 Resin and T700SC Fiber, andTASK 2B, Qty. 1 Resin-only Panels with PR520 Resin. The Options effort consists of TASK3A, Qty. 17 Composite Panels with 3502 Resin and T700SC Fiber, TASK 3B, Qty. 1 Resin-onlyPanels with 3502 Resin, TASK 4A, Qty. 17 Composite Panels with 5250-4 Resin and T700SCFiber, TASK 4B, Qty. 1 Resin-only Panels with 5250-4 Resin, TASK 5A, Qty. 17 CompositePanels with 5208 Resin and T700SC Fiber and TASK 5B, Qty. 1 Resin-only Panels with 5208Resin. (SEE ATTACHMENT A IN THE ATTACHED MODEL CONTRACT.)A. INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORSIn order to submit an offer, the following instructions are hereby provided:1. Offerors shall price the basic effort and each option separately. Prices shall be FOBdestination NASA GRC.2. Offerors shall include a completed and signed copy of the entire contract (not justthe signature page).3. Offerors shall provide the information required by FAR 52.212-1 (JUNE 2008).

FAR 52.212-3 may be obtained via theinternet at URL: http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/Procure/rforms.html 5. Offers for the items(s) described above are due by September 15, 2008, 4:30 p.m.local time and may be mailed or faxed to Marilyn D. Stolz, 21000 Brookpark Road, M.S.500-305, Cleveland, OH44135 and must include, solicitation number, FOB destination tothis Center, proposed delivery schedule, discount/payment terms, warranty duration (ifapplicable), taxpayer identification number (TIN), identification of any specialcommercial terms, and be signed by an authorized company representative. If the end product(s) offered is other than domestic end product(s) as defined in theclause entitled "Buy American Act -- Supplies," the offeror shall so state and shall listthe country of origin.The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 05-26.This procurement is a total small business set-aside. The NAICS Code and the small business size standard for this procurement are 333298 and500 respectively. The offeror shall state in their offer their size status for thisprocurement.The DPAS rating for this procurement is DO-C9.The FAR may be obtained via the Internet at URL: http://www.acquisition.gov/far/index.html The NFS may be obtained via the Internet at URL: http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/nfstoc.htm All contractual and technical questions must be in writing (e-mail or fax) to Marilyn D.Stolz not later than September 10, 2008. Telephone questions will not be accepted.B. EVALUATION AND AWARD FOR BEST VALUEAward will be based upon overall best value to the Government among those offerors thatmeet the technical specifications shown above.Technical acceptability will bedetermined by information submitted by the offeror providing a description in sufficientdetail to demonstrate their technical expertise, experience concerning their ability toperform the requirements and past performance.It is critical that offerors provideadequate detail to allow evaluation of their offer. (SEE FAR 52.212-1(b)). Unlessotherwise stated in the solicitation, for selection purposes, ability to perform thespecifications, total price and the best value criteria are essentially equal inimportance. The offeror is encouraged to address the best value criteria shown below aspart of their offer.Demonstration of the offeror's technical expertise can be via a detailedexplanation/description of offeror's facilities, the equipment that will be used,personnel, the number of years of work experience of the personnel, prior contracts withpoints of contact, brochures, etc. or a description of subcontractors and theirfacilities, equipment, etc. and whether the subcontract is currently in place.BEST VALUE CRITERIA: The following criteria will be considered best value for this procurement:1. EXPERIENCE: The offeror shall demonstrate experience in working with the processingof structural composite materials. Offerors shall provide a description of availableequipment and process to be used in the fabrication of the panels. The offeror shalldemonstrate their experience in obtaining relevant materials. Offerors shall cite aprior contract examples, decribing what was performed and provide points of contact. Include the name, address, contract number, and point of contact for any contracts usedfor this response. 2. CONTRACTOR PLANT LOCATION:The Government may wish to observe the Contractor'smanufacturing process during panel fabrication. Due to the potential number offabrication orders, the trip cost of the Contractor's location relative to NASA GRC willbe considered.Offerors must include completed copies of the provision at 52.212-3 (JUNE 2008), OfferorRepresentations and Certifications - Commercial Items with their offer. These may beobtained via the internet at URL:http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/eps/Templates/Commercial_Greater_Than_25K.doc.
