About this award
The NASA Shared Services Center awarded a $50K firm fixed-price purchase order to Anton Paar USA, Inc. on July 23, 2025, for the procurement of screw extruders and water tampering equipment. This sole-source contract, which was not set-aside, will be performed in Ashland, Virginia, and is intended to support operations at NASA Kennedy Space Center's Granular Mechanics Regolith Operations Laboratory. The equipment—specifically a new screw extruder featuring a hardened liner—is designed to process abrasive silicate materials such as regolith simulants, which are critical for terrestrial and space manufacturing projects, including the ReMADE initiative. The hardened liner component addresses wear degradation issues inherent to processing regolith, thereby reducing maintenance costs and extending equipment operational life.
The award to Anton Paar USA, Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer of high-precision laboratory analysis instruments headquartered in Ashland, Virginia, was justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) as a sole-source procurement, with the government determining that the vendor is the only source capable of providing the specialized extruder equipment meeting NASA's requirements. The special notice was posted on July 16, 2025, with a response deadline of July 18, 2025, allowing the government to evaluate whether competitive procurement was warranted. Anton Paar's established track record supplying sophisticated scientific instrumentation to federal agencies, including the Department of Defense and National Institutes of Standards and Technology, supports its selection for this critical space agency application with an ultimate completion date of September 3, 2025.
