- Description
- NASA/LaRC is hereby soliciting information for potential sources for a system that builds three dimensional (3D) models using either polycarbonate or polyphenylsulfone materials and can be easily upgraded as new material are developed. The build volume shall be at least 14" X 16" X 16". The resulting models shall have superior strength, heat resistance and chemical resistance properties. Models shall be produced within an accuracy of +/- .0015 inch per inch or better. The system must be able to turn CAD files into 3D models which can be used for developing mechanical simulations for early fit/form/function checks and shall be office friendly requiring no special venting or facility modifications. System software shall be able to import .stl files and automatically orient the part, generate any necessary support structure and create deposition path to build the part. Software shall run on Windows NT and Windows 2000 platforms and provide queue management capability and build time & material status information. Proposed system shall include on-site installation and a standard warranty. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor these cites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. Vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures, and references. Responses must include the following: name and address of firm, size of business; average annual revenue for past 3 years and number of employees; ownership; whether they are large, small, small disadvantaged, 8(a), HUBZone, and/or woman-owned; number of years in business; affiliate information: parent company, joint venture partners, potential teaming partners, prime contractor (if potential sub) or subcontractors (if potential prime); list of customers covering the past five years (highlight relevant work performed, contract numbers, contract type, dollar value of each procurement; and point of contact - address and phone number). Technical questions should be directed to: Mr. Spencer Johnston at: s.l.johnston@larc.nasa.gov Procurement related questions should be directed to Mr. Lionel Nadeau at: l.e.nadeau@larc.nasa.gov Please advise if the requirement is considered to be a commercial or commercial-type product. A commercial item is defined in Internet "Note A". This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement. The Government reserves the right to consider a small business or 8(a) set-aside based on responses hereto. All responses shall be submitted to Lionel Nadeau no later than March 29, 2002. In responding, reference 1-205-RFI-3DMODEL. Any referenced notes can be viewed at the following URL: http://genesis.gsfc.nasa.gov/nasanote.html
