This is a firm fixed price blanket purchase agreement (BPA) call awarded by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center to Owens Industries, Inc., a small business manufacturer located in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. The $835,657 contract is a call against a larger BPA to provide fabrication services and supplies, including interchangeable piece parts, in support of instrument development and space flight and non-spaceflight hardware projects at Goddard. The original BPA, a total small business set-aside, has a potential value range of $0 to an unspecified ceiling. Owens Industries has previously provided parts and assemblies as a subcontractor to major prime contractors. This contract requires compliance with aerospace industry standards for items designated as "spaceflight" but not for "non-flight" items.

Small business set-aside, 84 offers place of performance: vendor site fabrication of commercial services and supplies for goddard space flight center the advanced manufacturing branch (AMB) is responsible for maintaining a complete manufacturing facility to meet the center's research and development requirements and assist in the fabrication of hardware requirements from multiple NASA project missions. This facility includes conventional machining equipment, numerically controlled (NC) machining centers, sheet metal and welding fabrication equipment and remotely located staff shops. Vendors shall provide fabrication services and supplies to the manufacturing engineering group in their respective areas of expertise for the development of instruments and space flight and non-spaceflight hardware interchangeable piece parts. Vendors will manufacture per engineering drawings with aerospace industry tolerances and provide fabrication capabilities in accordance with the statement of work. To fabricate close tolerance aerospace instruments and space flight grade parts, in various materials such as (but not limited to) aluminum, titanium, high strength steel and nickel alloy, engineering plastics, and composites based on industry engineering drawings, provided in electronic format, to industry standard tolerances and specifications. Parts may range in complexity from very simple to very complex, with quantities. Each discipline is further divided into subcategories based on the expected size of fabricated parts. The fabrications of products or services proposed as "spaceflight" are required to be, ISO 900I or AS9100 complaint, items proposed as "non-flight" will not require respondents to be ISO 9001 or AS9100 compliant. Offers shall indicate if they are ISO 9001 or AS9100 complaint and provide supporting documentation.
