Description

NASA/JSC has a requirement for Nomex Natural Tape, Part Numbers (P/N) 9650-1, 9981-2 and 9476-3. NASA intends to acquire 300 yards of P/N 9650-1, 200 yards of 9981-2 and 360 yards of 9476-3. A Certification of Conformance shall be provided with each P/N item, which shows exact width and length for each item.

NASA/JSC intends to purchase the items above on a sole source basis from Bally Ribbon Mills. NASA/JSC selected Bally Ribbon Mills due to special testing requirements previously conducted at NASA’s White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) and has been approved for flight applications by NASA Materials Scientists. Resupply of the specific P/Ns are essential for multiple fabrications of pre-existing flight articles that are fabricated to specific flight drawings. Purchasing the items from another vendor would require additional testing at WSTF before the items can be classified as flight material. The testing will be a duplication of effort and substantially increase cost to the Government.

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

Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 3:30 p.m. local time on March 16, 2012. 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.

All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.

NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The installation Ombudsman is Lauri Hansen, 2101 NASA Parkway, Houston, TX 77058, 281-483-2823, lauri.n.hansen@nasa.gov.
