- Description
- NASA/GSFC has a requirement for the procurement of an optical housing to integrate a large number of x-ray mirrors that are made of glass that has Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) of 6.3 ppm/K. The housing must be fabricated with material that matches the CTE of the glass. The material must be lightweight and stiff. NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Materion Brush Beryllium & Composites Inc. They will fabricate the housing using their E-60 Beryllium Oxide Metal Matrix Composite that is proprietary to Materion. It is the only material available that has a stiffness to weight ratio 7.5x greater than other heavy materials, such as KOVAR which has the required CTE. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 12:00 p.m. local time on November 26, 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. <p> Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. <p> All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. <p> NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html. <p>
