Kulite Surface Mount Transducers

NASA/LaRC has a requirement for Kulite Surface Mount Transducers. NASA/LaRC intends to purchase the items from Kulite Semiconductor Products, Inc. The required units will augment already existing Kulite transducers and the same units are needed to ensure accurate correlation measurements, and uniformity in testing. It would take substantial duplication of resources and time for another source to provide the required service and this additional expense is not expected to be recovered through competition. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 11:00 a.m. local time on 09/06/2016. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html.
