Replacement of an existing Electrodynamic shaker

Added: Jul 20, 2017 11:28 am NASA/GRC has a requirement for the following:
- Replacement of an existing Electrodynamic shaker

NASA/GRC intends to purchase the Electrodynamic shaker from Data Physics Corporation, 2480 N 1st Street Suite 100, San Jose, CA, 95131-1030.

NASA is continuing work within the Structural Dynamics Laboratory. This procurement of an electrodynamic shaker is replacing an existing Data Physics shaker. The new shaker must be compatible with the existing Data Physics equipment. Replacing the shaker from another source will increase long term maintenance costs because each shaker will require a separate service contract. Improper maintenance and repair could also cause extended down-time with a negative and costly impact to NASA Programs.

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

The Sole Source is under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)1.

Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30p.m. EST on 7/27/2017. 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 acceptable in response to this notice.

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