- This notice is issued by NASA/ARC for a Request for Information (RFI) to determine potential sources, vendor capabilities, and price/schedule estimates for the fabrication of a five pound-mass-per-second flow-through, six-component, force type balance, and to solicit responses from interested parties. This document is for information and planning purposes and to allow industry the opportunity to verify reasonableness and feasibility of the requirement, as well as promote competition. A draft statement of work is posted with this RFI. The government is seeking price and schedule estimate information from companies who are capable of fabricating this balance according to the technical specifications listed in the draft statement of work. Vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures, and references. Please include information about the vendor's business size and whether they are large, small, small disadvantages, 8(a), HUBZone, and/or woman-owned, a description of previous similar work performed, a description of the vendor's fabrication facilities, or any other information that would be pertinent to this acquisition. Please advise if the requirement is considered to be a commercial or commercial-type product. A commercial item is defined in FAR 2.101. Detailed requirements for the acquisition have not been finalized, nor have the specifics for the acquisition strategy been determined. NASA intends to use the results of its market research to aid in the making these final decisions. The objectives of this RFI are: to provide industry with preliminary information regarding this potential acquisition, solicit information about potential sources and price/schedule estimates, invite potential offers to submit comments regarding the Government's acquisition approach, and to notify industry of the Government's intent to conduct one on one discussions with potential offerors. The preliminary information is being made available for planning purposes only, subject to FAR clause 52.212-3, entitled "Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes." It does not constitute a Request for Proposal, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to enter into a contract, nor will the Government pay for the information submitted in response to this request. Respondents will be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement. This procurement is subject to review or cancellation at any time.
