Sole Source Procurement of Instrumented Bump Duct for NASA GRC Distorted Duct Flow Rig

NASA Glenn Research Center is seeking a sole source procurement for an Instrumented Bump Duct for its Distorted Duct Flow Rig. - Procurement is intended to be awarded to CUBRC, INC. as the sole source vendor. - The main deliverable is a precision-manufactured bump test section per drawing SK40004_RevA. - Includes three direct-measurement shear stress sensors (0.149 diameter) installed on the bump. - Three additional sensors with flanges for easy removal. - Three contoured flanged blanks to replace flanged sensors. - All necessary external electronics, cabling, and connectors for voltage measurement. - The procurement is classified under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). - Delivery is expected within 18 weeks after receipt of order. - NASA will evaluate responses but intends to proceed with CUBRC, INC. due to unique or proprietary requirements. - The procurement is conducted under FAR Part 12 as a commercial item acquisition.

Technical and Commercial Details: - No specific part numbers provided; all items are custom per NASA specifications. - The opportunity is limited to a single source due to specialized manufacturing and instrumentation requirements. - Potential competitors would need to demonstrate equivalent capabilities in precision instrumentation and duct manufacturing for aerodynamic testing.

Period of Performance: - Delivery required within 18 weeks after order placement.

Key Requirements: - Precision manufacturing to NASA-provided drawings and tolerances. - Installation and integration of specialized shear stress sensors and electronics. - Capability to deliver a fully instrumented aerodynamic test section for research purposes.
