The Propulsion Systems Laboratory (PSL) at NASA Glenn requires the replacement of the Cooling Tower Water Valve “2V-11,” which has failed to seal properly. The project entails a like-for-like replacement of a sizable valve (30” nominal) to avoid costly modifications to existing piping. The specified valve model is Dezurik, with specific operational requirements, including a double-acting actuator without any spring and capable of locking during air supply failure, functioning at 125 psig pressure while requiring bubble-tight shutoff for the cooling tower water at 60 psig. The procurement is time-sensitive, mandating delivery by May 31, 2025, and requires comprehensive documentation with both paper and electronic copies, including operation and maintenance manuals, alongside all relevant drawings and a parts list. This RFP highlights NASA's commitment to maintaining operational efficiency and adherence to technical specifications during infrastructure upgrades.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) 80NSSC24882304Q for the procurement of a Dezurik 30" BOS Resilient Seated Butterfly valve, specifically for replacing the malfunctioning valve "2V-11" at the Propulsion Systems Laboratory Cooling Tower. The procurement is set aside for small businesses, requiring quotes by September 12, 2024, and necessitating registered companies in the System for Award Management (SAM). Detailed specifications include the need for a double-acting actuator and documentation of the valve and actuator. The successful bidder must comply with multiple federal regulations, including providing representations and certifications related to business operations, taxes, and telecommunications service provisions. Additional provisions include clauses related to export licenses, incident reporting, and other terms necessitated by federal law. This procurement reflects NASA's priority in maintaining the reliable operation of its facilities through targeted updates while ensuring strict adherence to federal acquisition regulations and the promotion of small business participation.
