This contract opportunity serves as a presolictation for the following requirement:

BAEY 240015 Upgrade Fire Pump Controllers at B11600 located at Beale Air Force Base (AFB), California. The services to be performed shall include demolition of the existing fire alarm system and fire pump controllers, design and construction of a new fire alarm system and fire pump controllers. Project also includes installation of a ductless split system air conditioner with programmable thermostat. See site map for location and layout.

Building 11600 pump house provides dedicated fire water for aircraft hangars 1-6. The site arrangement includes two water storage tanks and an associated water pumping facility that houses three electric fire pumps and two electric jockey pumps with associated controllers. The pump house facility was constructed in 2004. Subsequent projects have replaced selected equipment within the pumphouse except for the fire pump controllers. They are old and out of compliance with current standards and need replacement. The current fire alarm system does not provide adequate monitoring of the fire pump system which has resulted in reoccurring damage to fire equipment. The fire alarm system is out of compliance with current cyber security regulations and the space where the FACP is located is not properly temperature controlled. Improper reporting by the fire alarm system and old fire pump controllers pose a serious risk to the operability and maintainability of the system.
The Contractor shall furnish all design, labor, supervision, transportation, materials, testing, analysis, reports, permits, hauling, tools, equipment, disposal, and professional services to accomplish all the work involved to construct the project described in section 1.2. The completed project shall result in a fully functional and code compliant fire alarm system and fully operable/functional electric fire pump controllers meeting all government and industry standards.

Opportunity:

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS), LLC under contract no. DE-AC52-07NA27344 (Contract 44) with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop its multi-component, encapsulated concrete mortars.

Background:

Current technology for repairing concrete structures requires either replacement of aged concrete-which can be tedious, expensive, and logistically onerous or one-time sealing of defects (e.g., grout injection or healing spray) that do not provide long-term crack repair.

Due to rebar corrosion in reinforced concrete, modern corrosion prevention methods have issues stemming from corrosion inhibitors that require concrete cover replacement and contain toxic solvents. Migrating corrosion inhibitors (MCIs) do not require cover replacement, but have limits on their diffusion.  The state-of-the-art bio-inspired approaches are promising but cannot repair both existing and newly formed deep defects in both reinforced and plain concrete with prolonged functions.

Description:

LLNL researchers are developing Concrete Assisted by Particles Sealed Under Large-scale Encapsulation (CAPSULE) to provide a solution that utilizes different biological and engineering approaches to repair aging concrete. It uses an innovative method to

1. self-heal existing and new cracks in damaged concrete structures down to meters in depth
2. effectively transports biological and sensing agents under various concrete environmental conditions
3. prevent further damage of concrete structures with steel-corrosion prevention, extending the structure lifetime and reducing the cost and logistics of repairs.

CAPSULE is a vascularizing, crack sealing cement repair agent whose capsules are composed of bio-compatible shells, enabling long-term durability for encapsulated materials (enzymes and/or fungi) that provide penetration, self-healing, and corrosion prevention upon capsule rupture by an external source (i.e., crack opening, pH changes, aircraft passes on runways).

Advantages/Benefits: 

1. long-term function for vascularizing effectors
2. a novel delivery mechanism for deep vascularization
3. minimal upkeep or renewal required
4. versatile solution for both steel-reinforced and non-reinforced concrete
5. novel portable non-destructive evaluation (NDE) to monitor performance
6. tunable functionality according to the application space and the diagnostic needs

Potential Applications: 

Concrete repair in airfields, civic infrastructure, military bases, oilfields

Development Status: 

Current stage of technology development:  TRL-1

LLNL is seeking industry partners with a demonstrated ability to bring such inventions to the market. Moving critical technology beyond the Laboratory to the commercial world helps our licensees gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. All licensing activities are conducted under policies relating to the strict nondisclosure of company proprietary information. 

Please visit the IPO website at https://ipo.llnl.gov/resources for more information on working with LLNL and the industrial partnering and technology transfer process.

Note:  THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT.  Companies interested in commercializing LLNL's Multi-component, Encapsulated Concrete Mortars should provide an electronic OR written statement of interest, which includes the following:

1. Company Name and address.
2. The name, address, and telephone number of a point of contact.
3. A description of corporate expertise and/or facilities relevant to commercializing this technology.

Please provide a complete electronic OR written statement to ensure consideration of your interest in LLNL's Multi-component, Encapsulated Concrete Mortars.

The subject heading in an email response should include the Notice ID and/or the title of LLNL’s Technology/Business Opportunity and directed to the Primary and Secondary Point of Contacts listed below.

NASA/ARC intends to modify Contract No. NNA17BF41C, titled Pathfinder Technology Demonstrator (PTD) with Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems, Inc. (Tyvak) on a sole-source basis pursuant to 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(1), and FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. PTD supports spaceflight missions, which are managed by the Small Spacecraft Technology Program (SSTP) Level II office located at Ames Research Center. The PTD Project was awarded for the development, integration, and delivery of one 6U nano-satellite spacecraft plus five spare (optional) spacecraft. PTD will test the operation of a variety of novel satellite technologies in low Earth orbit, providing significant enhancements to the performance of these small and effective spacecraft. The current scope of work includes primary ground station support and spacecraft operations support.

The proposed modification will add additional Mission Operations Support to PTD-R and PTD-4 and add an additional energy experiment to PTD-4.  Due to a variety of factors, unforeseen delays have contributed to missed launch opportunities. The additional mission support will allow the project to complete all the remaining technology demonstrations. 

Because of the spacecraft requirements identified above, the current contractor is considered the only contractor that can meet ARC’s needs. As the satellite provider and developer, Tyvak possesses proprietary knowledge of the operation and nominal performance of its satellite bus. This knowledge is key to the objective and success of the PTD Project. Awarding a new contract to another source for the remaining requirements would result in substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable delays in fulfilling the Governments requirements, thereby affecting the continuity of services, and causing unacceptable delays.

The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.

Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to the Contracting Officer Tiffany Goodwin at tiffany.n.goodwin@nasa.gov not later than 12 PM PDT on November 29, 2024. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.

NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/Procurement-Ombuds-Comp-Advocate-Listing.pdf.
