E-MAIL: Ronald L. Matthews, Ronald.L.Matthews@grc.nasa.gov. NASA/GRC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the procurement of nozzle liners and flat test coupons from GRC supplied metal powders using plasma spray technology. William's International and NASA are working on a revolutionary rocket engine concept which will require high temperature nozzle liners for rig testing in Dec. 00 and Jan. 01. The nozzles shall be fully heat treated. The following nozzles are required, two Haynes 188 nozzle with a thin TBC coating (<1 mill) on ID. Two bimetallic nozzles NiAl(ID)/Haynes 188(OD) and two GRCop 84 nozzles with a NiCrAlY coating on ID. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/GRC intends to purchase the items from Plasma Processes Inc. Plasma Processes owns a proprietary NiAl composition that is required to fabricate the nozzles and have demonstrated the ability to fabricate these structures with these materials via the plasma spray process. The completed nozzles shall be delivered to the Glenn Research Center on or before 10/31/00. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on 7/14/00. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis.
