Description

NASA/KSC plans to issue a Request for Offer (RFO) for the development a low gas flow (LGF) automated primary calibration standard. The LGF primary calibration standard shall continuously measure the qunatity of a mass depleted from a sample vessel while flowing through a device under test. NASA/KSC intends to purchase the standard from DH Instruments, Inc. of Phoenix, Arizona. DH Instruments is a unique source since Kennedy Space Center utilizes molbloc systems which are manufactured by DH systems. In order for the LGF Standard to be capable of calibrating molbloc systems, the measurement uncertainty must be + or -- .10 percent of reading or better. This is required in order to permit at least a two to one ratio of LGF Standard accuracy to the accuracy of the molbloc systems specified by DH instruments. 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 3:00 p.m. local time on May 4, 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. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B". All qualified responsible small business sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.
