- Description
- NASA/KSC has a requirement for two (2) research grade engineering test unit Mass Spectrometers. Each unit consists of a miniaturized mass spectrometer, electron ionization source, modified IonCam Studio graphical user interface and Analyzer data analysis software, embedded PC, external power supply, and a protective travel case. NASA/KSC intends to purchase the items from OI Analytical. OI Analytical designs, manufactures, markets, and supports analytical instruments used for sample preparation, detection, and measurement of chemical compounds. Market research and RFI responses were used to determine the available volatile detection instruments and based on the requirements there was only one manufacturer of a MS currently available that can demonstrate the detection of low mass species with the required data acquisition rate required by NASA. An O I Analytical MS test unit was purchased and integrated into the RESOLVE system for the Field Demonstration Unit. The next version of the RESOLVE (Vacuum Development Unit) will build based on the Field Demonstration Unit technology and utilize the same GC-MS analytical instrumentation. There is a requirement for commonality as we move forward in our design and technology maturity. 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 time on March 20, 2013. 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. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html.
