- Description
- NASA/ARC has a requirement for Low Density Shock Tube (LDST) Bore Machining. NASA Ames Research Centers Electric Arc Shock Tube Facility (EAST) is used to conduct ground-based studies using hypersonic flows and emission spectroscopy to characterize and understand the heat radiation emitted from the shock wave created during atmospheric entry of a spacecraft. The EAST Facility has a current need to rework the bore of the 24 Low Density Shock Tube (LDST). The instrumentation and optical ports have a smooth perimeter bulge that protrudes into the bore of the tube. This bulge negatively affects the flow of hypersonic gas through the bore of the tube and must be removed. Requirements Basic:Strategically machine the bore of the tube to meet the smoothness and surface finish of the original drawings. Toward that endeavor, shear-wave ultrasonic inspection must be completed on each port area before machining and after to verify that the structural integrity of the tube has not been compromised. 1) Work may be done in situ or off-site, however if work is done off-site, a thorough and detailed transportation plan must be submitted to, and approved by NASA before work proceeds. Additional requirements for transportation off-site are indicated on the ARC 66 (i.e. Entry Systems (Code TS) Division Approval and Ames Logistics Management approval, among others). Off-site transportation and handling must be bonded and insured. 2) Documented procedures detailing the process and methods to be used in the removal of the protruding material must be supplied and approved by NASA before work proceeds. 3) Documentation and certification of the calibration standards used in the Shear-Wave Ultrasonic testing must be supplied and approved by NASA before work proceeds. 4) If during machining, an inclusion or weld discontinuity is discovered, additional inspections will be required. Decision to repair or not lies with NASA. The cost of additional work beyond the basic scope will be the responsibility of NASA. 5) All machining and inspection processes and procedures must be approved by the NASA Pressure Systems Safety department prior to starting work. 6) If work will be completed on-site at Ames, an airborne dust control plan and post work clean-up plan must be submitted and approved by NASA before work proceeds. 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. Offerors are required to submit quotes via email to zachary.burkland@nasa.gov, no later than noon on Thursday, September 12, 2013. Please reference NNA13478896-AHJ in any response. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Procedures set forth in FAR Part 13. Questions regarding this acquisition must be submitted in writing (e-mail is preferred) no later than September 10, 2013. It is the quoter's responsibility to monitor this site for the release of amendments (if any). Potential quoters will be responsible for downloading their own copy of this notice, the on-line RFQ and amendments (if any). 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.
