43 -- PROVIDE AND INSTALL 400 CFM AIR COMPRESSOR SOL RFP5-01150/119 POC Rex T. Elliott, Contracting Officer (301) 286-6204. NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center intends to enter into a sole source contract with Carey Air Center of Baltimore, Maryland for a 400 CFM Air Compressor to be used as a backup unit for the air compression requirements of several buildings at the Goddard Space Flight Center, including the Building 29 spacecraft clean room. This acquisition will be done pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1)-ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE. The work requirement involves providing a new air compressor, removing the old unit and installing the new one, installing a programmable controller based device (sequencer unit) to coordinate the operation of the basic unit with this backup unit, and testing of the system. Because the backup unit must function identically to the primary unit (which is a Carey 400 CFM Compressor), no other provider of air compressors has the capability to meet these requirements. All responsible sources may respond to this synopsis by submitting a written statement of their capabilties, including technical literature demonstrating their ability to meet this requirement. Responses must be submitted within 15 days of this notice to the contracting officer for this procurement. NASA will determine if any offerors other than Carey Air Center have a reasonable chance of meeting the requirements for this procurement. All such responses will be fully considered. See Numbered Note(s): 22. (0124)
