8/3/20, 10:32 AM Fabrication of Commercial Space Flight Parts (FAB) Multiple Award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA)
This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, NFS 1812, FAR Part 13, and NFS 1813, 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 notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for fabrication services and supplies. The solicitation number is 80GSFC20Q0003. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2020-04. Clauses and provisions referenced in this synopsis/solicitation may be accessed electronically at:
FAR: https://www.acquisition.gov/browse/index/far
NFS: https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/NFS.pdf
This procurement is a 100% small business set-aside for commercial supplies and services. The primary NAICS Code and the small business size standard for this procurement is 332999, All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing and 750 employees respectively. The vendor shall state in its quote its size status for this procurement.
All responsible sources may submit a quote which shall be considered by the agency. NASA/GSFC plans to award multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with a five-year ordering period for the Advanced Manufacturing Branch (AMB) for Goddard Space Flight Center. Individual calls under this BPA exceeding $25,000 will not be synopsized as all BPA’s will be established with the most qualified vendors to ensure maximum practicable competition.
The BPA vendors shall provide fabrication services and supplies to the Manufacturing Engineering Group in their respective areas of expertise for the development of instruments and spaceflight and non-spaceflight hardware interchangeable piece parts. All staff supporting the activities described above will be located off-site at vendor’s facilities. Generally, orders will have quick response times to meet critical Spaceflight and Non-flight project requirements.
The vendor questionnaire/vendor rotation categories list/rotation categories definitions, Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) terms and conditions and Statement of Work (SOW) are attached to this announcement. Vendors may propose in one or more categories.
Vendor(s) having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures and up to three (3) past performance references that demonstrate their capabilities (See attached NASA/GSFC BPA Solicitation-Fabrication of Commercial Services and Supplies Vendor Questionnaire.) Documentation, literature and brochures are to be limited to 10 pages total.
The Government will award multiple BPAs resulting from this solicitation to vendor(s) that provide the best value to the Government. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes: (1) Technical Capability; and, (2) Past Performance.
The Technical Capability factor is significantly more important than the Past Performance factor.
The Government will evaluate the following:
Literature, brochures and references that demonstrate vendor’s capabilities to manufacture engineering drawings with aerospace industry tolerances that meet one or more rotation categories.
Total number, sizes, and variety of primary fabrication equipment directly supporting chosen rotation categories. This may include, but is not limited to: computer numerically controlled mills; lathes; electrical discharge machining; waterjet cutters; lasers; punch presses, and brakes etc. This is not to include secondary support equipment such as cutoff saws, grinders, sanders, forklifts etc.
Number and variety of fabrication processes selected on the rotation category checklist and the vendor’s ability to provide the broadest range of resources. Preference may be given to vendors who are able to provide multiple rotation services, thus providing support on several different rotational categories may be considered favorably.
Total number, sizes, and variety of vendor’s inspection equipment.
The fabrications of products or services proposed as “spaceflight” are required to be ISO 9001 or AS9100 compliant, items proposed as “non-flight” will not require respondents to be ISO 9001 or AS9100 compliant. Vendors shall indicate if they are ISO 9001 or AS9100 compliant and provide supporting documentation.
The vendor shall submit, as part of its quote, information on previously performed contracts or on-going contracts that are similar to the SOW in the solicitation performed for Federal, State or local Governments, and for commercial firms.
Information shall be provided on either: 1) all such contracts within the past three years; or, 2) the last three such contracts performed, whichever is fewer. Further, information shall be limited to the name and address of the organization for which the product was supplied and services were performed; the e-mail address; phone number and contact name for each contract listed.
The vendor should not describe past performance history in the quote. The information should include, however, discussion of any major problems encountered on the contract listed and the corrective actions taken to resolve it. The information may also include a description of any quality awards earned by the vendor. The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. Vendors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. The vendor should provide the information requested above for past performance evaluation, or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant directly related or similar past performance.
