Support Frame Structure (SFS) Fabrication

NASA's Shared Services Center is soliciting bids for the fabrication of Support Frame Structure (SFS) components for the Caliente Support Frame System, which includes cart columns, cart beams, pillars, V-groove tracks, end plates, floor tracks, and diagonal support members. The procurement will be evaluated using a best value approach, with evaluation criteria including lowest price, technical acceptability, and past performance demonstrated through three references from work completed within the past three years. Vendors must include their CAGE/UEI code, FOB destination, delivery lead time, point of contact information, and confirmation of compliance with associated quality documentation in their proposals. Key contract requirements mandate a 12-week delivery timeline following contract award, submission of a manufacturing process plan and quality plan, and provision of fabrication status updates every three weeks. The quote submission deadline is November 9, 2025, and all vendors must reference the tracking number 80NSSC25918899Q in their email subject line when submitting quotes to Shanna.l.Patterson@nasa.gov.

This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, making it available only to certified small businesses. The work involves precision steel fabrication using A36 steel components with specific welding per AWS D1.1/D1.1M standards, epoxy primer and polyurethane coating finishes, and compliance with NASA quality requirements including Certificate of Conformance documentation. Authorized resellers only are eligible to submit proposals, and vendors must be registered in SAM (System for Award Management). The performance location is Edwards Air Force Base, California 93524, where all fabricated SFS components must be delivered upon completion. While the specific contract award value is not disclosed in the solicitation, the procurement encompasses multiple detailed structural components across ten drawing sets with precise dimensional and quality specifications. The 12-week delivery requirement following award represents the primary timeline constraint for contract performance.
