This is a full and open competition RFQ (9531BM26Q0007) for commercial testing services under FAR subpart 12.6, with no set-aside applied.
The contractor must perform six task areas: documenting as-received pipe condition; detailed documentation of two pipe pieces; non-destructive inspection and testing using computed tomography x-ray and leak testing per ASTM standards; sectioning and mechanical exposure with digital microscopy and scanning electron microscopy analysis; and chemical and physical property analysis including density, melt flow index, and ring flattening testing. The contractor must provide all supervision, personnel, and equipment, and accommodate up to eight NTSB representatives for 2–5 days of on-site witness observation.
The contractor must hold ISO 17025 accreditation or demonstrate equivalent competency, provide fully trained personnel with resumes, and execute a non-disclosure agreement prior to commencing work. Period of performance is 60 calendar days from contract award, with all deliverables including factual reports and digital image files due within that timeframe. The contract is firm fixed-price with billing at 100 percent of the quoted value upon completion of all task areas.
