A -- HEAVY ION ACCELERATOR BEAM SUPPORT SOL 562-23901-920 DUE 051299 POC Mary E. McKaig, Contract Specialist for Simplified Acquisition, Phone (301) 286-4240, Fax (301) 286-1720, Email Mary.E.McKaig.1@gsfc.nasa.gov WEB: Click here for the latest information about this notice, http://nais.nasa.gov/EPS/GSFC/date.html#562-23901-920. E-MAIL: Mary E. McKaig, Mary.E.McKaig.1@gsfc.nasa.gov. NASA/GSFC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for Heavy Ion Accelerator Beam Support. NASA/GSFC requires high energy beam -- specifically we require C, O, Ni, Br, I, Au, and most other elements of the periodic table at 3-5MeV/amu. The heavy ion beam will be used to simulate the space radiation environment. The information obtained will be used to evaluate the performance of microelectronics and photonics in the space radiation environment. This is in support of several NASA/GSFC programs and various radiation effects research efforts. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/GSFC intends to acquire the support from Brookhaven National Laboratories (BNL) in Upton, NY. BNL is the only facility that can provide the required number of species at the specific energies and for the required duration, and is the only facility that is compatible with our test hadware and beam requirements consistent with performing a valid test. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. Any referenced notes can be viewed at the following URL: http://genesis.gsfc.nasa.gov/nasanote.html. Interested firms have 15 days from the publication of this synopsis to submit in writing to the identified point of contact, their qualifications/capabilities with respect to being able to provide this type of support. Such qualifications/capabilities will be used solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. Responses received after the 15 days or without the required information will be considered nonresponsive to the synopsis and will not be considered. A determination by the Government to not compete this proposed effort on a full and open competitive basis, based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Oral communications ARE NOT acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be consideredby the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See Internet Note "B". Posted 04/21/99 (D-SN322624). (0111)
