- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Sole Source Request for Quotation (RFQ) to United Paradyne Corporation (UPC) for: Hydrostatic testing recertification of NASA 6,000 PSI helium tube bank trailer (GT-104), Vandenberg, Air Force Base (VAFB) CA. Last item. 1. UPC is under contract as the sole operator of the high pressure gas depot at VAFB. The Air Force will not allow access or allow other operators at the Air Force controlled depot. 2. UPC is one of a very limited national field of suppliers able to supply services that satisfy NASA requirements. United Paradyne Corporation is the only supplier on Vandenberg AFB qualified to conduct Re-certification of a high pressure tube bank trailer. 3.

The task of off-loading and refilling the tank is integral to the recertification and must be completed on site.
