E-MAIL: Becky LaRue, becky.larue@msfc.nasa.gov. NASA/MSFC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for a Modal Vibration Test System. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/MSFC intends to purchase the items from Unholtz-Dickie Corporation, Wallingford, CT pursuant to FAR 13,106, for the acquisition of supplies or services determined to be reasonably available from only one source. Competition is impractical because the Unholtz-Dickie Corporation is the only source that is capable of the required compatibility with the existing Unholtz-Dickie Model 4 air cooled electrodynamic shakers and accompanying TA100AMI solid state, air cooled, direct coupled power amplifiers rated at 1.0 kVA output. The shakers have the required 150 lb. peak force magnitude for sinusoidal excitation and have an armature stroke of four inches peak to peak. The shakers also include external cooling blowers and special electrical interconnests and flexible hoses. With shaker overall dimensions of approximately 14" x 14" x 19", the shakers offer portability for the desired force rating. 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 August 15, 2000. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition 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 considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
