- Description
- NASA/GSFC intends to award a sole source contract to Angeles Crest Engineering Inc.(ACE), for the Applied Engineering and Technical Directorate (AETD). NASA/GSFC has a requirement for a laboratory investigation that assesses the applicability of a newly developed aluminum treatment process for use in all aluminum hydrazine spacecraft propellant tank. This investigation will include testing, analyzing, and a detailed report. The testing will include devising and conducting a test that simulates the long term effects of hydrazine on coupon scale samples of aluminum treated with the new process. The data will need to be analyzed. This will include an analysis of the results in terms of changes to the wettability of the samples and compatibility of the processed samples with hydrazine for a simulated 10 year exposure. Finally, a detailed report of the sample processing, the test, the analysis, and provide recommendations for further investigation required to transition the process to a full scale flight tank development. GSFC therefore intends to make a noncompetitive award to Angeles Crest Engineering, Inc. for this acquisition. The statutory authority for other that full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1)Only One Responsible Source. 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 26, 2005.
