- Description
- NASA/LARC has a requirement for a highly accurate, Robot based Automated Fiber Placement System to support the advanced manufacturing of composite materials. The specified system shall be capable of fiber placement to establish processing parameters, evaluate the effects of processing variables, and perform advanced manufacturing research. The systems initial operational capability (IOC) shall incorporate a self-contained thermoset fiber placement head that NASA will use to establish processing standards and specifications, evaluate new materials and structural concepts, establish new damage tolerance guidelines, explore buckling knockdown factors, and manufacture state of the art composite flight structures. In order for this new knowledge to be applicable to industry, the selected AFP system shall incorporate a fiber placement head that has been demonstrated at lab-scale as well as in a production environment. A detailed Statement of Work and Specification is included as Attachment 1, Statement of Work entitled 'Robot based Automated Fiber Placement System' is located on the On-line RFQ system. 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, which is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ); quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.
