Pre-Solicitation Synopsis for
Test Area Piping
For NASA Stennis Space Center
The NASA, John C. Stennis Space Center is hereby soliciting information about potential sources for test area piping and piping systems. NASA/Stennis is contemplating awarding a multiple award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a minimal of $500,000 and a maximum of $9 million. Contract length is expected to be 5 years beginning in 2009.
The work to be performed under this contract consists of providing design, fabrication, inspection, installation, and cleaning of specialty piping. Specialty piping includes but is not limited to the following: cryogenic systems, kerosene-based fuel systems, gaseous nitrogen / hydrogen/ oxygen / helium / air systems, vacuum-jacketed piping, high pressure service, and high pressure industrial water service piping. Individual tasks may include: 1) Design Services: project engineer, detail engineering, analysis (flow, thermo, flexibility, structural, etc.), drafting, drawing / document control, cost benefit analysis and field installation support 2) Fabrication / Installation: welding above ground pipeline into place, providing structural analysis for pipe and pipe supports, and fabricating pipe supports. Tasks will be performed in support of the Stennis Space Center Test Complex test stands and critical support system equipment. Piping shall be fabricated and installed in conformance to ASME B31.3, Process Piping Code, and applicable Stennis Standards. Cleaning for high pressure Liquid Oxygen service and high pressure Gaseous Hydrogen systems (up to approximately 3800 psia working pressure) will be required. Pipe diameter may range from 2 inch to 24 inch at 250 psi for vacuum-jacketed pipe and 1 ½ inch to 6 inch for non-jacketed at 4000psi working pressure. The vendor shall demonstrate the ability to adhere to the SSC Cleaning Standard SSC-STD-8070-FLUIDS. Please email POC below for Cleaning Standards and examples of typical piping specifications used at Stennis Space Center.
This synopsis should not be construed as a formal request for proposals but, rather a pre-solicitation synopsis requesting information under the authority of FAR 15.201. Responses to this request for information are not offers and cannot be accepted by NASA to form a binding contract. This synopsis is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government pay for the information solicited. The NAICS code for this work is 331210 and the size standard is 1000 employees.
NASA desires that those companies expressing an interest in the aforementioned synopsis provide a written Statement of Capability (SOC) that addresses high-level alternatives; general, market-based approaches; experience in this area; knowledge of the work involved; and professional and manufacturing resources. The SOC should also contain delivery lead times for components. The SOC shall not include any confidential business or financial information relating to specific companies. Please state your business size in accordance to the above NAICS code.
All prospective companies are reminded to direct their written electronic correspondence to the attention of: Marvin L. Horne at Marvin.L.Horne@NASA.Gov. Those prospective companies shall have their electronic Statement of Capabilities submitted and received at Stennis Space Center no later than October 31, 2008 at 3:00 pm CST. Faxed correspondence and telephone correspondence will not be accepted.
