This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for the following items: USS FLIGHT MATERIAL (A516 plate grade 70, normalized) 1. US-4 to US-7 Wall ?? x 113.5? x 30? - (12) Sheets EA 2. US-4 to US-7 Lifting Lugs ?? x 4? x 4? -( 4) Sheets EA 3. US-4 to US-7 Flange 1? x 6? x 10? - (8) Sheets EA 4. Additional Lifting Lugs Material (balance needed for all segments) ?? x 4? x 4? - (8) Sheets EA 5. Additional Flange Material (balance needed for all segments) 1? x 6? x 10? (16) Sheets EA 6. SAMPLE (1) EA: Vendor shall supply 14 inch x 14 inch test specimen from the normalized material which represents heat lot and each plate thickness for NASA verification of material at receiving inspection. The test specimen shall be identified with the same required identification as the plate material, and also, the rolling orientation, ie. ?long? or ?trans". Introduction: This is the material buy for US-4, US-5, US-6, and US-7 weldments. The attached material purchase requirements shall be followed. The actual material to be ordered is in table 1. Note: Gusset material is not being ordered because excess pathfinder 2 material will be used. All the material being ordered is commercially available. FOB point for the delivery of metals is Glenn Research Center in Cleveland Ohio. Points of Contact (POC): Contracting Officer: Debbie Giavasis, Glenn Research Center, 216-433-5420, FAX: (216) 433-2480, Deborah.L.Giavasis@nasa.gov. Flight Test Article Manager: William M. Foster II, Glenn Research Center, 216-433-2368, William.M.Foster@nasa.gov Flight Material Purchase Requirements for ARES-I-1 Upper Stage Simulator (USS: PURPOSE: This specification defines the purchasing requirements of the NASA Glenn Research Center ARES-I-1 Project for ASTM A516 Grade 70 (normalized) steel plates used for fabrication of the Upper Stage Simulator. SCOPE: This standard will be used for ordering A516 steel plates for fabrication of flanges, gussets, lifting lugs, and skins for the Upper Stage Simulator. RESPONSIBILITIES: Material Buyers shall provide a complete quote to the ARES-I-1 Business Manager and Element Control Board (through the Contracting Officer), per ARES-I-1 Configuration Management Plan prior to placing order. REFERENCES: ASTM A516 ? Standard Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates, Carbon Steel, for Moderate- and Lower-Temperature Service. ASTM A20 - Standard Specification for General Requirements for Steel Plates for Pressure Vessels. PURCHASE ORDER: The purchase order may be in any form designated by the Contracting Officer. The following numbered requirements shall be included: 1. Material Quantity, Form, and Dimensions provided in Line Items 1-5 above. 2. Certified Materials Test Report (CMTR) to ASTM A516, Grade 70 with traceability to the manufacturing heat lot for tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and chemical composition. These reports are to accompany the material at delivery and must be legible. 3. All material to be in the normalized heat treated condition per standard mill practices to meet Charpy impact strength values of 20 ft-lbs at 0 degrees F. The specimen orientation shall be longitudinal, with the notch perpendicular to the surface of the plate. 4. Vendor shall supply 14 inch x 14 inch test specimen from the normalized material which represents heat lot and each plate thickness for NASA verification of material at receiving inspection. The test specimen shall be identified with the same required identification as the plate material, and also, the rolling orientation, ie. ?long? or ?trans?. 5. Packaging and transport of the Material must be presented in a manner that allows safe removal from the transport vehicle by an overhead crane or fork truck. At a minimum, this means separating the material with 4?x 4? block blocking. The blocking will be placed to minimize distortion. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 01-15. This procurement is a total small business set-aside.
