- This information is being made available for Market Research and planning purposes only, subject to FAR Clause 52.215-3, entitled Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal, and it is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to enter into a contract, nor will the Government pay for the information submitted in response to this request. The purpose of this RFI is to obtain and evaluate information from industry on potential sources providing services to Retrofit to ESAB GXB 800 CNC Oxy/Fuel Cutting Machine. NASA seeks information on sources that can provide the following: 1.Provide Labor and Materials to retrofit one ESAB GXB 800 CNC Oxy/Fuel Cutting Machine. 2.Install a new plasma cutting system that is fully compatible with the existing ESAB Vision TS CNC controller. The system shall include a torch, encoder height lift assembly, power supply, cooler circulator, auto gas control, air/water muffler, and a water injection module. 3.New system shall meet the requirements listed below: a.Capable of high speed and precision cutting b.Cut and mark using the same consumables c.2 degrees or less cut edge angle on steel plate d.Capable of sharp top and bottom edges and no dross e.Dry or underwater cutting and marking using the same torch f.Cut quality shall meet or exceeds ISO 9013:2002 range 3 on steel plate g.Cutting and Marking limits i.Mild steel- pierce 1-1/2, cut.040 to 2 underwater ii.Stainless- pierce 1/1/2, cut.040 to 1 iii.Aluminum- pierce 1-3/4, cut.040 to 1-1/4 4.Provide 8 hours of onsite training for plasma cutting operation and maintenance. 5.Upgrade the ESAB Vision T5 CNC controllers operating system for Windows Vista to Windows 7. The NAICS code associated with this work is 333991. The small business size standard is 500. The schedule, method of solicitation, type of contract, set aside potential, selection criteria, pricing structure, and other considerations to be used in any subsequent procurement will depend on NASAs analysis of the responses received from this RFI. NASA is familiar with the capabilities of ESAB Group Inc, and seeks information on this or equivalent equipment to fulfill this need. We are looking for all pertinent technical and other information to assist us in our acquisition planning, including: rough order of magnitude for pricing, purchase or lease-option availability, product lead time for delivery, and any information believed to be helpful in our market research and in determining industry capabilities. Responses to this RFI must include the following minimum information: Company name, address, points of contact, phone number, e-mail, and website (if applicable), number of years in business, and name of parent company (if applicable).Also required is information about the vendors business size (i.e., large, small, small disadvantaged, woman-owned, veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran owned), whether the firm is under a GSA Schedule Contract for this product, and which industries the vendor identifies itself with in the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Detailed requirements for the acquisition have not been finalized, nor have the specifics for the acquisition strategy been determined. NASA intends to use the results of its market research to aid in the making of these final decisions.The objectives of this RFI are to identify the capabilities of small business and other business classifications to perform the work Responses to this RFI are due by 1:30 PM Pacific Time on Thursday, May 22, 2014. Interested parties are requested to submit their technical information, capability statements, suggestions, as well as any comments on the acquisition approach (email only) to the Contracting Specialist, Matt Heagy, email: matthew.j.heagyl@nasa.gov. Responses shall be provided in Adobe pdf or other format compatible with and accessible using Microsoft Office software applications.
