- Description
- In support of the Gateway Program, NASA/JSC has a requirement for delivery of�4 �flight-like 22N Columbium bi-propellant thrusters�(P/N�A0814015-003)�including integral valve assembly, instrumented to collect high-rate pressure and accelerometer data. This requirement also includes�testing support, structural modeling support along with CAD/structural models, test cell integration information, and documentation. Delivery of the thrusters to NASA shall occur after the articles have been subject to baseline inspection (NDE) and acceptance testing. In addition to the procurement of the test articles, the procurement will include an option to perform a hot fire test campaign of the above NASA owned test articles. The test campaign of a the thrusters shall utilize approximately 750 kg of NTO and 500 kg of MMH, each thermally conditioned prior to delivery to the thruster, and at regulated inlet pressures. NASA intends to issue a sole source�contract�to Moog, Incorporated. Moog is deemed the only capable vendor to deliver the requirements without�significant impacts of schedule and substantial duplication of costs for the Government.�The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302- 1, Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.�It is critical for the thrusters being procured to be the exact�thrusters�used for the Gateway PPE for compatibility testing purposes.?NASA has no other option other than to award this effort directly to Moog to obtain the exact hardware that was delivered to Maxar along with the proprietary technical insights and data that only the original hardware manufacturer can supply to have sufficient data and understanding of the Moog hardware for certification.�Moog�possesses heritage designs and testing capabilities�to�meet the specific�requirements for�the RCS.� The anticipated award date is March 2022 for a period of performance of ATP + 18 Months. The Government intends to acquire�this sole source�a commercially modified�item using FAR Part 12.� ?? ?� These commercial items will require proprietary modifications to meet the NASA�Gateway mission�requirements.� Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to�Andrew Candee,�andrew.l.candee@nasa.gov�or�Jennifer Escalante,�jennifer.e.escalante@nasa.gov not later than 2:00PM central standard time on�December�28, 2021. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining�whether or not�to conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis. ?A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.� 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
