- Description
- NASA/NSSC has a requirement for a training program entitled ASME B31.3 Pipe Process Design. The objective of the program is to provide learners with instruction that explains how piping systems fail and what the Code requires the designer, manufacturer, fabricator, supplier, erector, examiner, inspector, and owner to do to prevent system failure. Using hundreds of real-world examples as well as the personal experiences of the instructors, the course demonstrates how the B31.3 Code has been both correctly and incorrectly applied. Lessons are enhanced by actual in-class problem solving, directly applying the rules and equations of the B31.3 Code for specific design and operating conditions. Students will learn to identify what issues to take into consideration when designing process piping, explain the pressure design of piping and piping components, analyze piping flexibility and gauge the limitations of piping and piping components, and identify pipe supports leak testing, piping failures and their causes. This offering shall be held at NASAs Kennedy Space Center beginning July 22, 2013. NASA/NSSC intends to purchase the above curriculum from American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2 Park Avenue, New York, New York. Pursuant to FAR 13.106(b), the acquisition of these services has been determined to be reasonably available from only one source. Competition is impractical for the following reasons: No other U.S. based vendors were identified that can provide this training. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using the procedures in FAR Part 13.106. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 3:30 p.m. Central Standard Time on June 4, 2013.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. Capabilities and qualifications should be submitted to Candice C. Talley at Candice.C.Talley@nasa.gov. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note 'B'. Any referenced notes may be viewed at the following URLs linked below
