- Description
- NASA/GRC has a requirement for the following: - Calibrated Gamma Exposure Materials Effects NASA/GRC intends to award a contract to The University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA. This procurement is for conducting predefined experiments consisting of exposing samples to Bremsstrahlung radiation with user definable photon end point energies varying over a range of approximately 1 MeV to 3 MeV (million electron volts). The provider must be able to measure, control, and certify to a high-precision the electron current and electron end point energy level (i.e. the electron accelerating potential). The provider must be able perform a benchmark case of exposing samples for to a current of at least 175 micro Amp at 2 MeV. The provider must also have the ability to perform pre- and post-exposure gamma spectrum analysis on the samples using a High Purity Germanium Gamma Detector (such as HPGe), where posttest analyses needs to be performed within a short time interval (<15 min) after beam exposure. The provider will be expected to deliver a final oral and written report to NASA summarizing the research findings. The Government intends to acquire a commercial service using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Procedures in FAR Part 13. The Sole Source is under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)1. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30p.m. EST on 4/29/2016. 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 acceptable in response to this notice. 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.
