Description

NASA LaRC is hereby soliciting information for potential sources for a consolidation of design and fabrication efforts from Ames Research Center, Langley Research Center, Glenn Research Center, and Marshall Space Flight Center. These research models and hardware may consist of both mechanical and electrical/electronic hardware elements. The mechanical hardware elements include but are not limited to wind tunnel models, model components, model support systems, test equipment, aircraft flight test hardware, space flight hardware and force measuring devices such as pressure, temperature and moment. Contractors shall complete basic stress analysis as well as complex analytical tasks to support the design, such as finite element modeling and fracture mechanics analyses. Contractors shall perform hand finishing, polishing, and lapping on precision hardware such as highly cambered and twisted wings, sculptured surfaces, and contours from CAD generated models while maintaining dimensional tolerances as accurate as +/- .002 inches and surface finishes as low as 2 rms (micro inches). Contractor shall install static and dynamic pressure instrumentation in hardware. Other dimensional requirements may require accuracy to within .0002 inches. The electrical/electronic hardware elements include but are not limited to motors, actuators, sensors, control panels, printed circuit boards, data acquisition and control systems, circuit protection, connectors and wiring as required to support the test hardware. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in the CBD and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor these cites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. Vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures, and references. Responses must include the following: name and address of firm, size of business; average annual revenue for past 3 years and number of employees; ownership; whether they are large, small, small disadvantaged, 8(a), HUBZone, and/or woman-owned; number of years in business; affiliate information: parent company, joint venture partners, potential teaming partners, prime contractor (if potential sub) or subcontractors (if potential prime); list of customers covering the past five years (highlight relevant work performed, contract numbers, contract type, dollar value of each procurement; and point of contact -- address and phone number). Technical questions should be directed to Bill Hollingsworth at 757-864-7137 (w.h.hollingsworth@larc.nasa.gov) or Al Grimes at 757-864-2783 (a.w.grimes@larc.nasa.gov). Procurement questions should be directed to Marie Smith at 757-864-4122 (m.l.smith@larc.nasa.gov). Please advise if the requirement is considered to be a commercial or commercial-type product. A commercial item is defined in Internet "Note A". This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement. The Government reserves the right to consider a small business or 8(a) set-aside based on responses hereto. All responses shall be submitted to Marie L. Smith no later than January 26, 2001. In responding reference 1-058-RECOM. Any referenced notes can be viewed at the following URL: http://genesis.gsfc.nasa.gov/nasanote.html
