- Description
- The Solar Physics Branch of Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the following Commercial item/services: the development of a Normal-incidence EXtreme-Uv Spectrometer (NEXUS), as a potential scientific payload to be flown on future space satellite missions. This instrument would perform spectroscopic studies of the outer atmosphere of the Sun at EUV wavelengths. It uses a concave stigmatic grating at near-normal incidence which provides spectral imaging over an extended wavelength interval and spatial field-of-view with only a single reflecting surface. The optical design of the NEXUS spectrograph requires a grating with varied line space rulings of the Kita/Harada type, ruled onto a concave toroidal substrate. It simultaneously covers the 3 spectral bandpasses of 45.7-52.5, 56.6-63.1, and 74.3-80.0 nm, with a fixed operating angle of Alpha=1.061 deg. This specification is directed towards the procurement of one (1) copy of the required NEXUS spectrograph grating. This grating will then be evaluated to select the supplier for possible flight-grating orders in the future. The government may make up to two awards. The bids will be evaluated based on the ability to meet specification (See attached document), cost and length of delivery schedule. The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 333314 and 500, respectively. All offerors should submit proposals electronically no later than 1pm EST on Thursday, December 18, 2003. Electronic submissions should be sent to Cathy Marx (Cathy.Marx@nasa.gov) and Teresa Anthony (Teresa.Anthony@nasa.gov). All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. An ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B". The solicitation and any documents related to this procurement will be available over the Internet. These documents will be in Microsoft Office 97 format and will reside on a World-Wide Web (WWW) server, which may be accessed using a WWW browser application. The Internet site, or URL, for the NASA/GSFC Business Opportunities page is http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=C&pin=51 Prospective offerors shall notify this office of their intent to submit an offer. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor the Internet site for the release of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Any referenced notes may be viewed at the following URLs linked below. All contractual and technical questions must be submitted in writing (e-mail or FAX) to Cathy Marx (Cathy.Marx@nasa.gov) and Teresa Anthony (Teresa.Anthony@nasa.gov) not later than Tuesday, December 16, 2003 at 1pm EST. Telephone questions will not be accepted.
