- Description
- NASA/ARC plans to issue a Request for Quote (RFQ) for Joint Attachment Techniques manufacturing demonstrations. The Heatshield for Extreme Entry Environment and Technology (HEEET) Project plans to issue a Request for Quotations (RFQ) to explore all forms of joint enhancement for thick 3D woven panels. Joint enhancement techniques such as stitching, tufting, z-pinning, or some alternative mechanical solution are all within scope of this RFQ. It is essential that the joint be able to withstand harsh dynamic loading at launch, and temperature extremes while in the vacuum of space and during re-entry, and most importantly not adversely impact the recession and thermal performance of the system. This procurement is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). A Draft Statement of Work is attached to this synopsis. A Request for Information (RFI) for this effort was posted on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service and Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) from 9/9/2013 through 10/31/2013 (NNA13STITCH2-L).This effort is anticipated to be conducted as a phased acquisition with competitive down-selections for subsequent phases in accordance with NASA FAR Subpart 1817.73 Phased Acquisitions. The SOW describes the requirements for the initial Phase I. Competition for subsequent phases will build on the results of previous phases. The award criteria for subsequent phases will include demonstrated completion of specified previous phase requirements. The Government expects that only the initial phase contractors will be capable of successfully competing for the subsequent phases, and proposals for the subsequent phases will be requested from these contractors. The Government intends to issue a separate, formal solicitation for subsequent phases in accordance with FAR 5.201 and 5.203. Notwithstanding the expectation that only the initial phase contractors will be capable of successfully competing for the subsequent phases, proposals from all responsible sources submitted by the specified due date will be considered. In order to contend for subsequent phase awards, however, such prospective offerors must demonstrate a design maturity equivalent to that of the prior phase contractors. Failure to fully and completely demonstrate the appropriate level of design maturity may render the proposal unacceptable with no further consideration for contract award. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 314999 (All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills) and 500 employees, respectively. The anticipated release date of RFQ # NNA14508776Q-AMD is on or about April 18, 2014 with an anticipated quote due date of on or about May 6, 2014. All responsible sources may submit a quote which shall be considered by the agency. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/p ub_library/Omb.html. The solicitation and any documents related to this procurement will be available over the Internet. These documents will reside on a World Wide Web (WWW) server, which may be accessed using a WWW browser application. The Internet site, or URL, for the NASA Business Opportunities home page is http://procurement.na sa.gov/cgi-bin/EPS/bizops.cgi?gr=D&pin=. Prospective offerors shall notify this office of their intent to submit an offer. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor the Internet site for the release of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Potential quoters will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments (if any). All contractual and technical questions must be submitted in writing (email only) to Marianne.Shelley@nasa.gov not later than April 14, 2014. Telephone questions will not be accepted.
