Fitzgerald, Procurement Analyst, Phone (757)-864-2461, Fax (757) 864-7898, Email L.P.FITZGERALD@larc.nasa.gov WEB: Click here for the latest information about this notice, http://procurement.nasa.gov/EPS/LaRC/date.html#SS271. E-MAIL: Linda P. Fitzgerald, L.P.FITZGERALD@larc.nasa.gov. NASA Langley Research Center is hereby soliciting information for potential sources to provide Electronics Fabrication and Electronic Equipment Support (EFEES) to NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC), Hampton, Virginia. An advance notice is published herein to provide information about services that are required. The Contractor shall provide technical support to fabricate research-oriented electronics circuitry to include circuit assemblies for ground support, aircraft, spaceflight, laboratory, and research facility instrumentation requirements. These services shall encompass four functional Electronics Fabrication work areas with daily support services provided for: General Electronics Fabrication, Aircraft Electronics Fabrication, Microelectronics Fabrication, and Special Fabrication Processes. In addition, the Contractor shall provide Electronic Equipment Support consisting of various maintenance, repair, and other related services for a variety of Government-owned Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and conventional machinery and equipment. This procurement action is intended to result in a performance based cost plus incentive fee contract with work requests being issued by the government containing performance requirements and delivery schedules specified therein. The work locations for this effort is estimated as follows for the areas of work described above: General fabrication 70percent contractor facility, 30 percent LaRC locations; Aircraft Fabrication 100 percent LaRC Building 1244; Microelectronics Fabrication 100 percent LaRC Building 1238; Special Fabrication Processes 95 percent contractor facility, 5 percent various LaRC locations; and Electronic Equipment Support 100 percent performed on site. Support will be provided primarily for first shift operations, but some second and third shift work is required. The contractor should be prepared to perform emergency support work in all work areas on a 24-hour, 7-days a week basis. A 1-hour response time to receive urgent work requests after the call is placed by the Government. In performing this effort, the contractor must comply with the quality provisions set forth in NASA Assurance Standards Publications NAS/NHB 5300.4 Series. Personnel qualifications and certifications shall be in accordance with the NASA Standards Publications. It is NASA s policy to require suppliers to have a Quality Management System which complies with the appropriate standard contained in the current version of the ISO 9000 Standard Series or the American National Standards Institute/American Society for Quality Control s Q9000 series and associated documentation. Specific work area requirements are : ELECTRONICS FABRICATION SUPPORT -- General Electronics Fabrication -- This includes electronics fabrication support to produce general electronics circuitry and hardware. Requirements range from fabrication and assembly of printed circuit boards, cable assemblies, wiring harnesses, and electronics chassis; to installation and wiring of complete research test facilities; to fabrication and assembly of electronics hardware components and subsystems for Center aeronautical or aerospace research projects. Aircraft Electronics Fabrication -- This includes electronics fabrication support to produce aircraft electronics circuitry such as data acquisition instrumentation, telemetry systems, electronic display units, and a variety of ground support equipment for LaRC s flight research aircraft. Microelectronics Fabrication -- This includes the performance of technical functions necessary for microelectronics circuit and sensor fabrication such as deposition of materials, photochemical patterning of circuit elements and interconnections, mounting of microminature components, etc. Special Fabrication Processes -- This includes printed circuit board fabrication; photoplotting, photographing, and processing of printed circuit board electronic artwork data files; graphics-related processes including computerized engraving and vinyl cutting, metal photo imaging and graphics artwork layout and other related processes; and coatings application processes including conformal coating, staking, encapsulating and other related processes. ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT SUPPORT -- Electronic equipment support involves the installation, repair, maintenance, assembly, modification, setup, operation, testing, and calibration of a variety of Government-owned Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and conventional machinery and equipment such as CNC controllers, positioning controls and readouts, speed controls, interfacing/networking equipment, and electrical discharge machines. There are approximately 60 machine tools to be serviced on site. Over 90 percent of the work requests are 10 hours or less in duration. A list of this equipment will be provided as part of the Request For Proposal (RFP). No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. Vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures, and references.
