This is a Pre-Solicitation Notice of a proposed contract action in accordance with FAR 5.201. NASA/John F. Kennedy Space Center intends to award a new Purchase Order to Taylor Devices for Dampers and Energy Absorbers for the Vehicle Damper System.
The proposed Purchase Order will be awarded using Other than Full and Open Competition procedures citing the authority at 10 U.S.C. 3204(b)(B), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), for the for the purchase of (8) dampers and (8) energy absorbers, also known as buffers, as the primary mechanisms in the support of Mobile Launcher 2’s (ML-2) Vehicle Damper System (VDS). The VDS is a brand-new umbilical design and is required for ML-2 specifically due to the additional height of the Block 1B and eventual Block 2 SLS vehicle configurations. Awards to sources other than the original source would result in unacceptable delays and possible unsatisfactory performance in fulfilling the agency's needs.
