- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center (ARC) is hereby soliciting information about potential sources for fiber reinforced polymer composites mold tooling and parts production. The Aeronautics Research Mission Directorates Convergent Aeronautics Solutions research program requires thousands of identical components with high manufacturing production quality. These components have complex geometry and must have the mechanical properties of typical fiber reinforced polymer composites. The manufacturing method that appears to most closely meet the needs of the program is equivalent to commercial production injection molding with multiple non-orthogonal (not perpendicular to mold pull direction) slides/side-actions. See the attached Statement of Work document for specifications. NASA ARC is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including Small, Small Disadvantaged (SDB), 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Veteran Owned (VOSB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned (SD-VOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) businesses, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI) for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for fiber reinforced polymer composites mold tooling and parts production. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Service Disabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses hereto. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor these sites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. Interested offerors/vendors having the required specialized capabilities to meet the above requirement and attached specifications should submit a capability statement of 20 pages or less indicating the ability to perform all aspects of the effort described herein. Responses must also include the name and address of firm, a point of contact, DUNS number, and whether they are large or any category of small business. Information is requested on suggestions for structuring the work such that a firm fixed price contract can be utilized. For example: using options or separating pricing into tooling development, mold setup, machine hours, and/or quantities of parts. The NAICS code planned for this procurement is 333511, Industrial Mold Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 500 employees. Please advise if the requirement is considered to be a commercial or commercial-type product. A commercial item is defined in FAR 2.101. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement. All responses shall be submitted to Mike Lehner no later than November 9, 2015 at 9:00am PST. Please reference NNA16FRPCOMPOSITESL-ALM in any response.
