- Description
- This Request for Information (RFI) notice is issued by NASA/MSFC for Fabrication of Multiple Steel Reaction Structures for NASA/MSFC Structural Testing. This document is for information and planning purposes and to allow industry the opportunity to verify reasonableness and feasibility of the requirement, as well as promote competition. NASA, George C. Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is hereby soliciting information from potential Industrial Steel Manufacturers (ISM) for the Fabrication of Multiple Steel Reaction Structures to be used in Structural Testing. The capability of the ISMs to manufacture and transport the Steel Structures is essential to meeting NASA-MSFC test milestones. The purpose of this RFI is to identify the potential ISMs that have existing capabilities to fabricate and deliver the Steel Structures as described in Attachment-A. The completed Response Instructions Form (Attachment-B) is requested from all interested parties by the due date above. The Structural Testing requires the fabrication of more than 20 steel reaction structures totaling over 4.5 million pounds of steel. The Steel Structures range in size and geometry, weight, complexity, and build tolerances. The ISMs shall be responsible for all material acquisition, fabrication, and delivery. Attachment-A describes in more detail, the Government requirements which are grouped below according to structures and quantities of each group: 1.Group 1 Interface Rings (qty. 8) 2.Group 2 Spiders (qty. 4) 3.Group 3 Pedestals (qty. 3) 4.Group 4 Reaction Structure (qty. 13 ) MSFC may solicit separate or combined solicitations from the groups above. Solicitations may begin as early as February 2014 and continue through February 2015. Delivery of all steel structures is expected over a period commencing late 2014 to mid-2015. Currrently, no solicitation exists, therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service and on FedBizOpps.gov. This RFI synopsis is not to be construed as a commitment or obligation by the Government, nor will the Government pay for the information submitted in response.Respondents will not be notified of the results. 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. All contractual and technical questions concerning this RFI shall be in writing (e-mail or fax) to Sabrina Pearson at sabrina.m.pearson@nasa.gov or fax to (256) 961-9604 no later than 12:00 pm CST on January 10, 2014. All questions with answers shall be posted by 4:30 pm CST on or before January 17, 2014. The solicitation and any documents related to this procurement will be available over the Internet. These documents will reside on a World Wide Web (WWW) server, which may be accessed using a WWW browser application. The Internet site, or URL, for the NASA/MSFC Business Opportunities home page is http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=D&pin=62. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor the Internet site for the release of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments, if any.
