- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center (JSC)is seeking capability statements from all interested small business parties, includingSmall (SB), Small Disadvantaged (SDB), 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Veteran Owned (VOSB),Service Disabled Veteran Owned (SDVOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone(HUBZone) businesses, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/MinorityInstitutions (MI) for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competitionfor the Engineering Fabrication Services (EFS) procurement. The NAICS code is 336419, andthe small business size standard for this acquisition is 1000 employees. The Governmentreserves the right to consider a Small, Small Disadvantaged (SDB), 8(a), Woman-owned(WOSB), Veteran Owned (VOSB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned (SDVOSB), HistoricallyUnderutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) businesses, or Historically Black Colleges andUniversities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI) set-aside based on responses hereto.Summary: NASA/JSC is seeking potential small businesses that are capable of operating andmaintaining the Engineering Directorates core manufacturing infrastructure. Thisinfrastructure produces world-class hardware products ranging from prototypes tospaceflight hardware. This potential procurement includes the skilled manufacturing andfabrication personnel necessary to build and process components and assemble hardware.These positions include (but are not limited to): 1)Computer-Aided Drawing (CAD)/Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM)/Numerical Control(NC) programmers: create and use solid models to generate post-processed,machine-specific tool path commands for cutting part features. 2)Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and manual machine machinists and operators: useNC code, or engineering drawings, to create engineered parts.3)Welders: setup and execute load-bearing welds that can successfully pass requiredinspection criteria. They must also be able to pass rigorous, industry-standard testing. 4)Sheetmetal Fabrication and Assembly Technicians: fabrication, setup, attachment,fit-up, and adjustment of parts, to create piece parts and assemblies.5)Model Fabrication Technicians: work with and combine a variety of materials togenerate museum quality displays and model presentations for project visualization,customer communication, or historical document purposes.6)Composite Fabrication Technicians: machine materials, bond structures, finishparts, develop and prepare molds, perform ply- or tow-layups, vacuum bagging, operateovens and autoclave, part clean-up, assembly fitment, and detail, to create finishedparts per engineering drawings.7)Metal Finish Technician: prepare and process parts by painting, anodizing,plating, and marking.8)Softgoods Technicians: fabricate parts using non-metallic and fabric stockmaterials.9)Clean Room and Cleaning Technicians: maintain and operate cleaning line equipmentand chemistry to support part, relief valve, and assembly processing. Provide staff tooperate 1000 Class precision clean room.10)Manufacturing Customer Representatives: provide customer liaison support forprojects routed through the shop areas, including customer representation, planning, andexpediting.11)Shop Equipment and Facility Managers: coordinate the maintenance, repair, andupgrade of CNC and manual: lathes, mills, water knives, routers and sheet metal formationequipment. They will review and coordinate facility maintenance, upgrades, and changes.They will also provide assistance to management, shop staff, and customer personnel asrequired for safe and efficient facility use. 12)Supervisors: provide manufacturing planning, staffing, scheduling, work centercoordination, and customer support.13)Material Handlers: receive incoming materials, parts, and supplies. They willalso prepare workpiece materials for part operations, route materials through the shop,and prepare items for outbound shipping.14)Purchasing: use customer requirements to request vendor material and part bids.As well as procure parts, materials, and supplies, as needed to support job completion.15)Manufacturing Engineers: provide customers with concurrent engineering supportfrom a manufacturability perspective. They will review and mature designs by proposingfabrication techniques and alternative methods of construction that may save time andreduce cost.16)Safety & Mission Assurance Support: provide safety oversight for all shopoperations. Also, provide in-process inspectors for welding and pressure systems work.Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform theeffort in writing to Jon Prihoda no later than 3:00 PM Central Daylight Time, November22, 2011.
