- Description
- NASA/Langley Research Center is soliciting information from industry regarding potential sources and alternatives for a Liquid Nitrogen Supply System for the National Transonic Facility (NTF). The supply system shall deliver at least 370 tons of liquid nitrogen per day, at a purity level defined by MIL-PRF-27401D, Type II, Grade B. The supply shall be required for approximately 140 days/year in two week intervals. These intervals shall either repeat continuously (up to 10 cycles) or be separated by an indeterminate amount of time. The yearly total is projected to be approximately 50,000 tons. Potential sources are encouraged to offer solutions that demonstrate their capability to provide a supply of liquid nitrogen that meets the cyclic intervals defined herein. Companies shall include cost and technical information that demonstrates how their proposed approach(es) would meet NASA?s requirements for reliable, low-cost liquid nitrogen. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service. It is the potential offeror?s responsibility to monitor these sites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis. Potential sources shall provide system specifications, turn-key performance capabilities, and system delivery schedule. Interested sources having the specialized capabilities to meet the above requirement shall submit a capability statement of 10 pages or less indicating the ability to perform all aspects of the effort described herein and no more than 30 pages on equipment specifications. All qualified firms, including large businesses, are encouraged to respond to this synopsis. The proposed North American Industry Classification (NAISC) Code is 325120 and the small business size standard is 1,000 employees (all questions related to size of business - i.e., large vs small - should be answered using the size standard for number of employees).
