- Description
- The US Department of the Interior, Minerals Management Service (MMS), intends to award a sole source purchase order as a sponsoring Federal Agency to the Colorado School of Mines, Center for Welding, Joining and Coatings (CSM) for the following tasks in accordance with FAR Part 6.302-1: only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The purpose of the study is to develop wet welding electrodes meeting Class A welds requirements according to AWS 3.6 specifications at multiple water depths up to 100 meters for both normal and high strength grade (up to 80 ksi yield strength) steels used for construction and repair of offshore oil and gas structures. Since flat and curved, horizontal and vertical positions are common to offshore facility structural fabrication and repair, electrodes should be analyzed under each of these conditions. Particular attention must be given to metallurgical evaluation (e.g., slag and molten metal flow characterization) of multipass welding to demonstrate suitability for offshore underwater applications. Based on these results, the welding procedures for these steels can be prepared for subsequent technology transfer. This task is heavily based on the results developed earlier in this program and represents a culmination of work from Phases I and II. The MMS will provide sponsorship funding in the amount of $63,471 for an eighteen month period of performance. The NAICS code for this requirement is 541690 "Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services." This notice is not a formal solicitation. This is not considered a Request for Quotation (RFQ) nor is it a Request for Proposal (RFP). No solicitation document is available and telephone requests will not be honored. No purchase order will be awarded on the basis of quotation or offers received in response to this notice. Any response to this notice must show clear, compelling, and convincing evidence that competition will be advantageous to the government. If no affirmative written response is received, the contract will be awarded without further notice. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed contract on this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received by the POC listed below by close of business January 20, 2006, will be considered by the government. POC: Kimberly Luke, MMS, Procurement Operations Branch, 381 Elden Street, MS-2100, Herndon, VA 20170. Questions must be emailed to Kimberly.Luke@mms.gov or faxed to Kimberly Luke at 703-787-1041.
