- Description
- NASA/ARC has a requirement for the fabrication of ten (10) carbon phenolic material billets, which will be evaluated for use as a heat shield for planetary probes, or, potentially, as thermal shielding for the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV). NASA/ARC intends to purchase the items from Reinhold Industries, Inc. of Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670, under the authority of FAR Part 13.106-1(b)(1), only one source reasonably available. The contractor has the unique capability necessary to manufacture chopped molded carbon phenolic materials using required heritage (flight-certified) processes. Selection of an alternate vendor would require re-qualification of their process, which would entail additional quality, budget and schedule risks for the Government. 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 (Pacific) time on July 20, 2005. 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.
