R--DEPLOYABLE RADIAL IMAGING FOR VELOCITY ENERGY AND DENSITY PLASMA INSTRUMENTGRID

NASA/GSFC has a requirement for the development of Deployable Radical Imaging forVelocity, Energy and Density (DRIVEN) plasma instrument grids.NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Precision MicroFab because they are the onlycompany who can meet the unique fabrication combination of high accuracy, part thicknessof 0.001" with a tolerance of +/-0.0005". MicroFab has a proprietary technique ofmanipulating the rough party while the laser micro machining is performed withoutdeviation of the aforementioned tolerance. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform theeffort in writing to the identified point of contact Janicea McCree [email protected] not later than 4:30 p.m. EST on August 26, 2011.
