Description

NASA/LaRC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for High Transmission Window for Low Gamma Radiation. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/LaRC intends to purchase the items from EIC Laboraries. EIC Laboratories is the only know responsible source with the capability to develop a thin, inorganic sandwich structure window that will avoid interferences with the biological elements and still provide high transmission of the soft x-rays. 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 March 10, 2001. 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.
