- Description
- NASA/ARC has a requirement for Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) services of a phenolicmatrix into a NASA-provided 3D woven carbon fiber preform material. Work will includenon-recurring design engineering services with flat mold tooling to accommodate variousdimensions, including up to 3 inches thick materials. NASA has purchased the 3D wovenmaterials under a separate procurement and the cost of the materials alone are greaterthan the RTM services.Thus it is imperative that NASA has confidence that the RTMservices will be performed correctly and consistently so that the materials are notdamaged or destroyed.NASA intends to extend the period of performance and order additional RTM services on PO# NNA12AA62P with Compositex, Inc. of Sandy, UT, under the authority of FAR13.106-1(b)(1). Market research conducted by NASA before award of the current POindicated that only Compositex has a process in place to provide RTM services on aphenolic matrix of thicknesses greater than 1 inch. In addition, it is important thatfuture parts provide compatible performance data and uniformity with previously processedparts.The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform theeffort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local timeon May 25, 2012. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for thepurpose 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 opencompetition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretionof 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.NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for thisacquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html.Information about major upcoming ARC procurement actions is available athttp://ec.msfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eis/admin/admin.cgi?center=ARC
