About this award

The National Transportation Safety Board awarded a purchase order to Cold Jet, LLC on October 19, 2026, for one Cold Jet i3 MicroClean CO2 dry ice blaster, with a firm fixed price of $29,915.25 and ultimate completion on October 19, 2026.

The order addresses a specialized requirement: precision removal of Parylene conformal coating from printed circuit boards containing non-volatile FLASH memory devices recovered during aviation accident investigations. The NTSB's Recorders Laboratory determined that dry ice blasting eliminates electrostatic discharge risks and avoids problematic abrasive residue disposal while chemical immersion, mechanical removal, plasma etching, and laser ablation present unacceptable technical, cost, or damage barriers. The NTSB conducted a week-long performance evaluation using the identical Cold Jet i3 MicroClean model, confirming successful Parylene removal without circuit degradation.

Work is performed in Loveland, Ohio. The award was issued as a sole-source purchase order under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), citing only one reasonably available source, following a Special Notice posted September 10, 2026, with a September 15, 2026 response deadline.
