E-MAIL: Ken W. Adams, kadams@ems.jsc.nasa.gov. NASA/JSC plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for spare parts for International Space Station (ISS) Volatile Organic Analyzer (VOA). NASA/JSC intends to purchase the VOA spare partes from KRUG Life Sciences Inc. The spare parts will serve to replace critical, limited life VOA components that may fail or need replacing. KRUG Life Sciences is currently under contract to design, develop, test, evaluated and integrate 1 VOA to support ISS Risk Mitigation experiment (RME) and 2 VOA units to support ISS. Based on experience gained in developing the initial units, KRUG Life Sciences is uniquely qualified to deliver this set of spare parts and to do so in time to support the delivery schedule. Any other provider would have to repeat the development work already completed and translate into unnecessary development cost to NASA and would put the delivery schedule at risk. Deliver of these VOA spare parts must be accomplished no later than December 1, 1998. See Numbered Note 26. RFP will be released on or about 15 days after publication of this synopsis in the CBD. Firm date for receipt of proposals will be stated in the RFP. All responsible sources may submit an proposal which shall be considered by the agency. See Number Note 22.
