- Description
- NASA/LARC has a requirement for Hexcel Carbon Fiber Epoxy Resin Pre-Impregnated Unidirectional Tape. NASA/LARC intends to purchase the items from Hexcel Corporation. Hexcel Corporation is the manufacturer and sole supplier of this specific carbon fiber/ epoxy resin pre-impregnated unidirectional tape. A significant amount of money and effort has been invested utilizing this same material form at LaRC. NASA dollars have been spent characterizing this specific material for aerospace applications as part of several programs. In order to add to the existing database of this specific type of epoxy/ carbon fiber prepreg as well as to compare to it, the same epoxy/ carbon fiber prepreg, HexPly 8552-1/ IM7 12K from Hexcel needs to be purchased. It would take substantial duplicatin of resources and time for another source to provide a the required material, and this additional expense is not expected to be recovered through competition. 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 12:30 p.m. local time on 08/19/2014.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. All responsible sources may submit an offer 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.
