American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code Tube pressure vessels 80MSFC26Q0004

NASA/MSFC has a requirement for American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code Tube pressure vessels with an individual maximum volume of approximately 60 cubic feet (water volume) in a stacked set of 4 configuration, with a total of 3 sets (12 total tube vessels) to be delivered to MSFC where they will be unloaded by onsite personnel. NASA/MSFC intends to issue a sole source contract to acquire the ASME Code Tube pressure vessels with a total individual maximum volume of approximately 60 cubic feet from FIBA TECHNOLOGIES, INC. These vessels are configured in 4-pack design with a combined total water volume of approximately 233 cubic feet. NASA intends to purchase three of these 4-pack configurations on this procurement. The foundations were built based on the drawings of the vessels that were installed in 2017 purchased by FIBA Technologies. The additional vessels must match the vessels purchased in 2017. This decision is made pursuant to FAR subpart 13.5(a)(1)(ii) in accordance with 41 U.S.C.1901. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
