- Description
- Pencil Beam Vacuum Chamber Sources Sought for a Pencil Beam Vacuum Chamber, Manufacture, and Delivery The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Astrophysics Science Division (ASD) has been the pioneer and leader in advancing the state of the art in lightweight, high throughput, focusing x-ray optics. One of the primary tools used to align and test these x-ray optics assemblies is the 100 meter x-ray beam line. In an effort to improve the capabilities of the x-ray beam line an upgrade to allow for pencil beam raster scanning of the optics assemblies is needed. To accommodate the gimbals and translation stages needed for faster scanning a large vacuum chamber is required. The NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to solicit information about potential sources for a Pencil Beam Vacuum Chamber. The Pencil Beam Vacuum Chamber shall meet the requirements as described in the draft Statement of Work document attached to this synopsis. NASA is seeking capabilities from large and all categories of small businesses and HBCU/MSIs for the purpose of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business and HBCU/MSI subcontracting goals for this requirement. Interested offerors having the necessary specialized capabilities to meet our requirements outlined in the attached draft Statement of Work should submit a brief capability statement. This capability statement should indicate the ability to be the Prime Contractor or Subcontractor and perform all aspects of the effort described herein. It is insufficient to provide only general brochures or generic information. Additionally, your responses must include the following: name and address of firm, size of business; whether they are small, small disadvantaged, 8(a), HUBZone, and/or woman-owned, affiliate information: parent company, joint venture partners, potential teaming partners, and a summary of past relevant experience with the components mentioned above. Technical and procurement questions should be directed to: Odessia Becks at Odessia.H.Becks@nasa.gov. It is requested that capability statements be submitted as described in the previous paragraphs by electronic mail to: Odessia Becks at Odessia.H.Becks@nasa.gov, no later than 5:00 PM ET on September 15, 2017. It is emphasized that this RFI is for planning and information purposes only and is NOT to be construed as a commitment by the Government to enter into a contractual agreement, nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Upon review of the information provided to NASA, it is the Government's intent to release a "Request for Proposal", which could lead to a contract award. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement. The Government reserves the right to consider a small business 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. It is the potential offeror's responsibility to monitor this site for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. An ombudsman has been appointed -- See NASA Specific Note "B". Questions regarding this notice should be directed to the point of contacts listed below.
