E-MAIL: Marie D. Kliment, mkliment@ems.jsc.nasa.gov. NASA/JSC plans to issue a Request for Quote (RFQ) for approximately 100 exhibits booths and related accessories for the NASA Johnson Space Center Inspection Day to be held on November 12-14, 1997, at the Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas. Set up will be required from November 3-7, 1997, with any other requirements that might occur on Monday, November 10, 1997; therefore, it is expected that firms outside the local area would have difficulty meeting the quick turn-around requirements which can occur daily. Take-down will be required on Saturday, November 15, 1997, until completed. The approximately 100 booths are located in 20 different buildings onsite and two buildings offsite. Some areas require additional pipe, drape, carpet, draped tables, tack boards, folding chairs, waste paper baskets, some large blue garbage cans and easels besides the estimated 100 booths. The colors for the drape must be royal blue and white and the tables draped in royal blue to match. The registration area will require 36 ft. of lighted counter space with tables and chairs to the rear plus red carpet up to the counters from the door entrance. A royal blue carpeted and skirted stage 10 x 20 with royal blue pipe and drape behind the stage. Red carpet is required for one of the offsite buildings which is Hanger 990 at Ellington. Various buildings onsite having concrete floors will require royal blue carpeted pathways to the exhibits. Additional information may be obtained by contacting the Technical Monitor for this procurement, Glenda Lancon at (281) 483-0282. It is also anticipated that final requirements may continue to change up to the actual time of the final setup of displays/booths and will, therefore, require contant coordination between the Technical Monitor and the proposed vendor. This would involve several onsite visits by the vendor representative/coordinator. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP).
