Added: Sep 21, 2016 10:06 am

NASA/GSFC has a requirement for a Multi-Channel Optics for use in focusing X-rays for the Explorer for Transient Astrophysics Mission. These optics will support the NASA/GSFC 100 m X-ray beamline. This order must support these tests.

The following is needed for the 6 square pore micro-channel plates:

QTY - 1/MPO-40SQ40x40-1.7-R2000
QTY - 1/MPO-40SQ40x40-2.4-R2000
QTY - 1/MPO-20SQ40x40-1.0-R1000
QTY - 1/MPO-20SQ40x40-1.0-R2000
QTY - 1/MPO-40SQ40x40-2.4-R2000/lr
QTY - 1/MPO-20SQ40x40-1.0-R2000/lr

NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the requirement from Photonis France S.A.S. This company is uniquely positioned to deliver due to the key precise micro-channels optics the meet the specific needs for the Explorer for Transient Astrophysics Mission.

The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.

Interested organizations may submit their questions to perform the effort in writing to Odessia Becks via e-mail at Odessia.H.Becks@nasa.gov, not later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on September 26, 2016. Capabilities, qualifications, and quotes must be submitted by September 27, 2016 through FedBizOpps no later than 12:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. 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.
