This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). Statement of Work for Visitor Center Aircrafts Background/Objective: NASA Ames Research Center displays retired research aircraft as part of the Visitor Center. They have been exposed to the elements of the outdoors for 6 years, and have varying degrees of damaged painted surfaces. Scope of Work: The scope of work for the four aircrafts is as follows: AV-8C Harrier -The paint has been tested for lead and was found to contain 4,800 ppm of lead. Surface preparation to remove debonded or flaking paint down to bare metal. Cover the portions of the aircraft that are not to be painted (canopy, formation lights, tires, air sensors, etc.). Apply primer coat of paint. Apply adequate coats of white paint to ensure that the paint retains its integrity when exposed to the elements of outdoor site. Paint two tone blue stripping along fuselage. Apply tail number, aircraft numbering, NASA tail logo, and aircraft operational decals that match those on aircraft prior to initiating the job. HiMAT Aircraft -- The paint has been tested for lead and was found to contain 35 ppm. Surface preparation to remove debonded or flaking paint down to bare metal. Cover the portions of the aircraft that are not to be painted (canopy, formation lights, tires, air sensors, etc.). Apply primer coat of paint. Apply adequate coats of white paint to ensure that the paint retains its integrity when exposed to the elements of outdoor site. Apply red paint to match the original color scheme. The black surfaces will remain white as the black is incompatible with the outdoor environment causing excessive solar heating. Apply tail number, aircraft numbering, NASA tail logo, and aircraft operational decals that match those on aircraft prior to initiating the job. U-2 -- The blue stripping shall be touched up so as to return it to a solid stripe. The aircraft shall be polished to remove any oxidation of the paint. F-104 -- The paint has been tested for lead and was found to contain 35 ppm. The aircraft shall have the minor paint chips touched up and the aircraft polished so as to remove the oxidation on the aircraft's skin.
