About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NASA/NSSC) has issued a Special Notice for a sole source contract with Drexel University to prototype woven fabrics using yarns provided by NASA. The contract will be issued under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), with performance located at NASA Johnson Space Center. NASA has determined that Drexel University is the sole provider capable of completing this specific prototype fabric development effort. The procurement will use commercial items and services procedures prescribed in FAR Part 12 and Part 13, with the NAICS Code 611310 for Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools. The opportunity is not set aside for any specific category of contractor.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to develop a suite of fabric designs using NASA-provided yarns, with a goal of creating 8 different fabric prototypes over a 6-month performance period. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing to the designated contacts by 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on December 26, 2024. The project will be conducted in two phases, focusing first on uncoated yarns and then on coated yarns, with NASA providing up to seven specific yarn types per phase. Key deliverables include fabric evaluations, warp combinations, fabric production (10 meters goal), and comprehensive technical reports covering machine settings, weaving processes, and fabric specifications. The government retains sole discretion to determine whether the procurement will be conducted on a full and open competitive basis, and oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.
