- Description
- NASA/KSC has a requirement for nine (9) CO-AX 3/2-way solenoid valves with model number VMKH253C6200TTR16426VBG1P1AT and three (3) CO-AX seal kits specific to the VMKH253C6200TTR16426VBG1P1AT solenoid valve. NASA/KSC intends to purchase the items from CO-AX Valves Incorporated, 1518 Grundy's Lane, Bristol, PA, 19007. The CO-AX 3/2-way solenoid valves and CO-AX seal kits are required for operation of the Ignition Overpressure and Sound Suppression (IOP/SS) System in support of Space Launch System (SLS) Flight Vehicle launch operations at Launch Complex 39B (LC-39B). Procuring this component will enable NASA to qualify new CO-AX 3/2-way solenoid valves with seal kits to replace the obsolete Marotta solenoid valves previously qualified for Ground Support Equipment (GSE). Market research was done via the internet beginning in October 2014, and by consulting the architect-engineer firm of Reynolds, Smith and Hill which designed the original IOP/SS and the updated design under Project Control Number (PCN) 98984 Design of IOP/SS Post Lift-Off Bypass.No other 3/2-way solenoid valves could meet specifications. The 3/2-way solenoid valves have the following characteristics: 1-inch MS33649-16 line ports, stainless steel wetted parts, a maximum operating pressure (MOP) of 1705 psi, proof pressure of 1.5X MOP, burst pressure 4X MOP, Cv of greater than 12, switching time of no more than 50 ms, utilize 24V DC with no less than NEMA 4/IP65 ratings, have a single position indication with Mil-Spec 10SL-3P connector, and a pilot valve with Mil-Spec 10SL-4P connector. The 3/2-way solenoid valve application is as follows: Media is GN2, Media Temperature is -10C to +70C, Ambient Temperature is -10C to +70C, and be compatible with launch environment. 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. EST time on Thursday, March 05, 2015. 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/p ub_library/Omb.html.
