About this award
NASA Glenn Research Center awarded a definitive, firm fixed-price contract to Leybold USA Inc. for special test equipment consisting of a thermal vacuum chamber shell, thermal shroud, and thermal conditioning unit for the B339 Aerospace Power Systems Laboratory on September 14, 2026, with a ceiling value of $3.475 million.
Place of performance is Export, PA. The originating solicitation, issued as a Request for Information in April 2026, sought vacuum chambers meeting 5×10⁻⁸ Torr vacuum levels and 5×10⁻⁹ STD ATM CC/SEC leak rates. The chambers must accommodate lunar simulant soil testing, feature fully welded non-sectional construction with internal fusion vacuum welds, and comply with ASME BPVC Section VIII fabrication standards. Thermal shrouds must reject 100 kilowatts of heat load using fully flooded liquid nitrogen systems. Thermal Conditioning Units for smaller chambers must provide temperature control from 90 Kelvin to 425 Kelvin with minimum 10 kilowatts refrigeration and heating capacity.
Contract performance extends through May 31, 2030. No set-aside was used.
