About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Marshall Space Flight Center published a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice to award a sole source contract to UES Inc. for one Robo-Met.3D Serial Sectioning System to support additive manufacturing certification and development efforts under the Liquid Engine Office Block IV task. The Robo-Met.3D system performs automated serialized metallographic sample sectioning, polishing, etching, and optical microscopy documentation, and is required to expand analysis capability and improve throughput to support certification and development work. UES Inc. was determined to be the original manufacturer and sole supplier of the proprietary system, including hardware, software, warranties, and service agreements. The contract award includes a one-year warranty, shipping and handling, installation, training, and three one-year options for subsequent annual service agreements.
Notice text
NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) has a requirement for a Robo- Met.3D Serial Sectioning System. The Robo-Met.3D® sectioning system is required to support the NASA Additive Manufacturing (AM) certification and development efforts under the Liquid Engine Office (LEO) Block IV task for product improvement within the Space Launch System (SLS) program. The
Robo-Met.3D serial sectioning system performs automated serialized metallographic sample sectioning, polishing, etching, and optical microscopy documentation of each microstructural slice.
Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, NASA/MSFC awarded a sole source contract to UES Inc., to acquire a single Robo-Met.3D Serial Sectioning System, a one-year manufacturer’s warranty, shipping and handling, installation, training of MSFC operators, and three options to purchase subsequent annual service agreements after the original warranty expires. If all options are exercised, the total contract period would be four (4) years and six-months. UES Inc., is the original developers and manufacturers of the Robo-Met.3D® system and are the only supplier for the system and sole supplier of the hardware, software and associated warranties, as well as, service agreements ensuring long term functionality for the agency.
