- Description
- The National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) is consideringfeasibility of an initiative involving the award of multiple IDIQ contracts to beutilized in acquiring laboratory equipment and supplies for all NASA centers. NASA hasfield centers located in Greenbelt, MD., Washington, D.C., Hampton, VA., Cape Canaveral,FL., Stennis Space Center, MS., Houston, TX., Edwards, CA., Mountain View, CA.,Huntsville, AL., and Cleveland, OH.NASA purchases approximately $80M of lab equipment and supplies annually. These equipmentand supplies fall into the following Federal Supply Classes (FSCs):4310Compressors and Vacuum Pumps4330Centrifugals, Separators, and Pressure and Vacuum Filters4710Pipe, Tube and Rigid Tubing4720Hose and Flexible Tubing5110Hand Tools, Edged, Nonpowered5120Hand Tools, Nonedged, Nonpowered5130Hand Tools, Power Driven5133Drill Bits, Counterbores, and Countersinks5136Taps, Dies, and Collets; Hand and Machine5140Tool and Hardware Boxes5180Sets, Kits, and Outfits of Hand Tools5210Measuring Tools, Craftsmen's5220Inspection Gages and Precision Layout Tools5280Sets, Kits, and Outfits of Measuring Tools5305Screws5306Bolts5307Studs5310Nuts and Washers5315Nails, Machine Keys, and Pins5320Rivets5325Fastening Devices5330Packing and Gasket Materials5331O-Ring5335Metal Screening5340Hardware, Commercial5341Brackets5342Hardware, Weapon System5345Disks and Stones, Abrasive5350Abrasive Materials5355Knobs and Pointers5360Coil, Flat, Leaf, and Wire Springs5365Bushings, Rings, Shims, and Spacers5905Resistors5910Capacitors5920Fuses, Arrestors, Absorbers, and Protectors5925Circuit Breakers5930Switches5935Connectors, Electrical5945Relays and Solenoids5950Coils and Transformers5955Oscillators and Piezoelectric Crystals5998Electrical and Electronic assemblies, Boards, Cards,and Associated Hardware6145Wire and Cable, Electrical6625Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments6630Chemical Analysis Instruments6635Physical Properties Testing and Inspection6636Environmental Chambers and Related Equipment6640Laboratory Equipment and Supplies6645Time Measuring Instruments6650Optical Instruments, Test Equipment, Components and Accessories6655Geophysical Instruments6660Meteorological Instruments and Apparatus6665Hazard-Detecting Instruments and Apparatus6670Scales and Balances6675Drafting, Surveying, and Mapping Instruments6680Liquid and Gas Flow, Liquid Level, and Mechanical Motion Measuring Instruments6685Pressure, Temperature, and Humidity Measuring and Controlling Instruments6695Combination and Miscellaneous InstrumentsFor a more detailed description of the Federal Supply Classes, please go tohttp://www.drms.dla.mil/asset/fsclist.html.See attached spreadsheet for information regarding the quantity and type of lab equipmenttypically procured by NASA.To assist NASA is evaluating this initiative, we are seeking the following informationfrom industry:(1)What is the name and address of your company?(2)What is your companys classification (large business, small business,service-disabled veteran owned small business, etc.)?(3)How long has your company been in business?
