Enthalpy probe plasma diagnostic system

Added: Mar 18, 2015 11:24 am NASA/LARC has a requirement for an enthalpy probe plasma diagnostic system.

NASA/LARC intends to purchase the TEKNA-manufactured items from EDF Induction. TEKNA/EFD Induction is the original equipment manufacturer and sole provider of this system. The required items are the second part of a two-part system configuration that will be integrated with a Government-owned radio frequency low pressure plasma spray apparatus, also manufactured by TEKNA/EDF Induction. It would take substantial duplication of resources and time for another source to provide the required diagnostic system, and this additional expense is not expected to be recovered through competition.

The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Procedures set forth in FAR Part 13.

Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on 03/24/2015. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government.

Oral communications are NOT acceptable in response to this notice.

All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.

NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/p ub_library/Omb.html .
