This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) was awarded by the Goddard Space Flight Center, a civilian agency of the U.S. government, to Central Engineering, Inc., a small business manufacturer. The $1.26 million multiple award BPA covers a 5-year period of performance from July 2020 through May 2025 and enables the agency to procure fabrication services and supplies to support its space flight and non-space flight programs. Under the BPA, Central Engineering will provide on-site and remote manufacturing, assembly, and documentation services for a variety of aerospace components and hardware, including spacecraft parts, instrument assemblies, structures, fixtures, and tools. The BPA has a small business set-aside, and the contractor must meet AS9100 or ISO 9001 quality standards for space flight items. Additionally, the agency has issued two call orders under the BPA, valued at $42,616 and $1.87 million, for comprehensive fabrication and assembly services for space flight and ground support hardware.

Small business set-aside, 63 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.
