120 Custom Acrylic Floating Frames with Hardware.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NASA SSC) is soliciting quotes for 120 custom acrylic floating frames with hardware to be used in multiple Goddard Space Flight Center buildings. The procurement is specifically for sandwich-style acrylic frames measuring 34 x 44 inches, designed to accommodate 30 x 40 inch posters, with rounded corners and brushed nickel standoffs/hardware available in silver, gold, or black finishes. The solicitation will be awarded on a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) basis, with technical questions due by December 17, 2024, and final quotes required by December 19, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. CT. Vendors must submit quotes directly to Tracy Bremer, with the frames meeting precise technical specifications including 1/4" thick back panel and 1/8" thick clear front panel. The primary objective is to update display walls in buildings B11, B305, B7/29, B23, and B28, enabling the Engineering and Technology Directorate to showcase work and provide informational signage for tours and VIP visitors.

This contract opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 541430 for Graphic Design Services, with performance located at Greenbelt, MD 20771. The total procurement is a one-time acquisition intended to create a stock of frames that will allow for in-house poster updates without incurring external framing costs, potentially saving the government thousands of dollars over time. Delivery will be made to NASA Goddard's B11 loading dock, where an on-site ETD contractor will oversee and inspect the materials upon arrival. The frames must precisely match previously fabricated designs, with specific hardware and acrylic panel requirements that vendors must carefully follow. While no specific award value is mentioned, the project involves fabricating 120 custom frames with specific technical and aesthetic requirements, targeting efficient and consistent display solutions for NASA's facility.
