- Description
- NASA/GSFC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for engineering design and analysis of current and future mass spectrometer experiments; generation of fabrication drawings necessary to build state-of-the-art mass spectrometer instruments and support equipment; and generate conceptual designs and models to be used for upcoming proposals. Contractor will supply engineering support for new and existing laboratory support equipment required for in-house experiments; be responsible for fabrication of specialized components and/or assemblies requiring close interfacing with machine shops. The contractor shall be assigned tasks within the above activities depending on priorities. Once a task is completed and deliverables are received, the contractor will then be assigned another task. The contractor shall provide an estimate of the number of hours required to complete assigned tasks, along with the estimate cost of the tasks. Individual tasks will be completed and billed in monthly increments. The contractor must have previous desing experience in flight mass spectrometer missions and associated ground support equipment. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from AMU Engineering, Inc., Miami, FL. AMU Engineering, Inc. is uniquely qualitied to perform the work listed in the statement of work. They have over ten years experience working with the Atmospheric Experiment Branch at NASA/GSFC on developing flight mass spectrometers and related hardware and equipment. Mass spectrometers are among the most complex instruments that are on spaceflight missions and AMU has proven experience that other companies would have to develop prior to completing these tasks. This includes disciplines in mechanical engineering design and analysis, structural analysis, thermal properties, vacuum system design, vacuum and thermal properties and design of miniaturized mass spectrometer components that can withstand spaceflights environments. 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 October 22, 2002. 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.
