About this file
This document contains a presolicitation notice and description of a federal contract opportunity for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Glenn Research Center. The notice seeks capabilities statements and cost quotes from interested vendors to perform services on a Multi-axis Thrust Measurement System, including replacing the center section to match a different test stand, performing calibrations at the vendor's facility, training NASA personnel, and inspecting and repairing or fabricating 22 load cells to the same specifications as those currently installed. Responses are due by 4:30 pm eastern on October 30, 2020. The sole source contract will be awarded to Force Measurement Systems, Inc. if no competitive bids are received that are determined to be in the government's interest to pursue. The work includes technical specifications and deliverables as detailed in the attached statement of work.

1) Presolicitation Notice – Synopsis
a. Noncompetitive (All)
NASA/GRC has a requirement for services on the PSL MCT-90-122-50K Multi-axis Thrust Measurement System (TMS). Vendor shall perform the following services (see attached SOW for full detail):
• Replace the center section of the TMS live bed and ground frame with a new section that will allow the engine mount features to match the MCT- 87-129-40K TMS. Center section shall retain all the capability to measure 50K of axial force and to maintain 50K of axial in-frame calibration capability
• The In-frame calibration instrumentation, calibration software, and vendor required In-house equipment (non-deliverable) to perform calibrations of the TMS at the vendor’s facility (This may be interpreted as an in-situ characterization of the TMS for a given custom customer test build-ups).
In-house equipment consists of but not limited to hydraulic systems and a suitable data acquisition system for the data measurement load cells.
Vendor shall train NASA personnel in the mechanics and theory of operations so that they are able to maintain the TMS and conduct similar calibrations/characterizations with the thrust stand installed at PSL.
• Inspect, assess and provide a cost quote to repair and or fabricate (22) load cells that are used in the thrust measurement system. The new/repaired load cells shall have the same capability in terms of capacity and accuracy as the current load cells when they were newly installed.
• Provide modular axial load cell package that allows NASA to optimize the measurement accuracy of the TMS for lower thrust engine tests by having the ability to change from 50K lbf maximum axial thrust to 20K lbf maximum axial thrust by replacing the axial load cells as needed.
NASA/GRC intends to issue a sole source contract to acquire the services from Force Measurement Systems, Inc.
The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to Brian Evans at brian.m.evans@nasa.gov not later than 4:30 pm est on October 30, 2020. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
