NASA/GSFC is hereby soliciting information from small businesses or any other firms capable of meeting NASA's upcoming requirements to purchasing Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) Wafers. Businesses are requested to provide detailed information demonstrating their understanding of the work requirements identified below as well as their qualifications, experience, and past performance history for such work. This information must be detailed because the purpose of this synopsis is to identify small business capable of performing this work. If no small businesses respond to this announcement or those that do respond are found to be incapable of meeting the requirements contained in the statement of work, this procurement will be conducted under Full and Open Competition Procedures.
It is anticipated that this procurement will be awarded as a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. Within a period of five years, GSFC will order a minimum of 25 wafers and a maximum of 3,000 wafers. Delivery orders placed under this contract will be required to meet the following delivery schedule.
POTENTIAL DELIVERY ORDER SCHEDULE:
An order placed for 1 to 75 SOI Wafers shall be delivered in 6 weeks (SOI Wafers will be delivered in partial shipments).
An order placed for 76 to 150 SOI Wafers shall be delivered in 6 to 8 weeks (SOI Wafers will be delivered in partial shipments).
An order placed for 151 to 225 SOI Wafers shall be delivered in 8 to 10 weeks (SOI Wafers will be delivered in partial shipments).
An order placed for 226 to 300 SOI Wafers shall be delivered in 10 to 12 weeks (SOI Wafers will be delivered in partial shipments).
The SOI Wafers shall meet all the following specifications and
(1) identify equipment and method used to measure flatness (bowing);
(2) 100% of the wafers shall be measured; and
(3) test data for 100 percent of the wafers shall be provided with product.
