- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)- Ames Research Center is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including Small, Small Disadvantaged (SDB), 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Veteran Owned (VOSB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned (SD-VOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) businesses, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI) for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for Fiber Laser Cutting System. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Woman-owned (WOSB), Service Disabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses hereto. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service. It is the potential offerors responsibility to monitor these sites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. Vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures, and references. The purpose of this RFI is to obtain information from industry on potential sources for One Fiber Laser Cutting System with the following characteristics: Power: 1500 watts to a maximum of 3000 watts. System shall be capable of cutting a 4 x 12 foot metal sheet without having to manually reposition the material. The system shall have a stationary table with a gantry type flying laser head that moves in the X, Y, and Z axis with a minimum positioning accuracy of.0004. The desired system shall be computer numerical controlled (CNC), have an LCD color graphics display user interface, and be capable of running SigmaNEST software. NASA is presently familiar with the capabilities of Amadas FLCAJ 3015 Fiber Laser Series, and seeks this or equivalent equipment to fulfill this need. NASA may decide to purchase, or lease with option. The final decision depends on analysis of responses to this RFI. The NAICS code planned for this procurement is 333517, Machine Tool Manufacturing, the small business size standard is 500 employees. The schedule, method of solicitation, type of contract, set aside potential, selection criteria, pricing structure, and other considerations to be used will depend on the NASAs analysis of the responses received from this RFI. This information is being made available for market research 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.
