The National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded a $353,560.95 firm fixed price purchase order to Hottinger Bruel & Kjaer Inc., doing business as H B M, for the delivery of a Bruel & Kjaer Tescia LAN-XI Data Acquisition System. The contract has a period of performance from July 6, 2023 through January 5, 2024. NASA issued a special notice of its intent to award this sole source contract, as the equipment is required to expand testing capabilities at its Glenn Research Center wind tunnel facility and Hottinger Bruel & Kjaer is the exclusive manufacturer of the Bruel & Kjaer Tescia LAN-XI system. The special notice provided interested parties an opportunity to demonstrate how competition could be advantageous, though NASA determined Hottinger Bruel & Kjaer to be the sole responsible source able to meet its need for a system that ensures compatibility with existing acoustic testing equipment and satisfies external customer requirements.
