Description

NASA/GRC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for AEROSOL EQUIPMENT CALIBRATION This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/GRC intends to purchase the items from the UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA only. This is a follow-on acquisition to work previously performed under a Grant (NAG3-2187). The University of Minnesota has developed an Aerosol Source as a calibration standard which has been used by other NASA and external entities -- NASA Glenn Research Center seeks to calibrate its equipment against this established standard to maintain consistency between different data sets and allow meaningful comparison with the results obtained by the other entities. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Organizations that believe they are capable of performing the described work may submit their capabilities and qualifications IN WRITING to the identified point of contact no later than 4:30 p.m. local time on Tuesday, April 3, 2001. Such submittals 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. THIS IS NOT A COMPETITIVE ANNOUNCEMENT -- IT IS A SOLE SOURCE ANNOUNCEMENT. PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST A COPY OF THE SOLICITATION -- NO COMPETITIVE SOLICITATION WILL BE ISSUED AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. If the government decides that this work will be competed, a competitive announcement and accompany solicitation will be issued at that time. An Ombudsman has been appointed.
