The document outlines a Statement of Work (SOW) for the procurement of noncritical machinery necessary for human factors assessments at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Alabama. The objective is to facilitate the construction of full-scale models that identify potential fitment and assembly issues. To achieve efficiency in terms of schedule and cost, the SOW specifies the need for key machinery: a hydraulic Sheet Metal Shear and a hydraulic Sheet Metal Brake, both with defined capabilities for cutting and bending various materials, including steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. The specified shear must have a minimum width of 52 inches, while the brake requires a bending width of 48 inches and the ability to achieve angles between 0 and 135 degrees. The period of performance extends from delivery and setup until the end of the machinery's operational life. This procurement is critical for supporting NASA's missions and maintaining operational efficiency within their facilities. The document reflects government procurement practices aiming to secure essential equipment for specific projects while ensuring compliance with technical specifications.
Apr 14, 2025, 3:05 PM UTC
The NASA Shared Services Center recommends negotiating solely with JPW Industries for the acquisition of hydraulic shear and break equipment, specifically the SH-5210-60 and BB-4810H-220V models. The estimated delivery timeframe is 1-2 weeks, with costs not specified in the document. The justification for this sole source procurement is based on JPW Industries being a distributor for Baileigh Industries, which is recognized for its superior metal and woodworking machinery, lifetime technical support, and positive customer service reviews. The recommended equipment meets specific technical requirements, including a 10-gauge capacity and compatibility with existing infrastructure, minimizing potential impacts on time and costs associated with alternative vendors. Using different equipment could lead to increased workforce hours and additional expenses for modifications. The recommendation emphasizes that procuring from JPW Industries will likely enhance efficiency and reduce operational challenges.
