About this file
This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the acquisition and installation of a multi-shot pyrolyzer system for NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory.
The contractor shall deliver a complete Frontier Laboratories, Ltd. Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer (EGA/PY-3030D) with an EGA/PY-3030D/PY-3030S Installation kit for Thermo TRACE 1600 GC. The system must include a built-in analytical trap supporting the Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer for AC110V operation, temperature control calibrated and programmable from ambient to 900°C with ±0.1°C accuracy, compatibility with standard split/splitless injection port modules (excluding Helium Saver Option), and a MicroJet Cryo-Trap (MJT-2030E) for Thermo TRACE GC Ultra with necessary mass spectrometer connectors. The contractor must perform complete installation and connection to electrical and gas supplies at NASA Goddard, provide familiarization training for instrument users, and deliver electronic manuals and documentation within 180 calendar days after award. The system shall be installed, calibrated, and certified by a trained contractor technician. The contractor must provide a one-year warranty and demonstrate nationally recognized expertise in pyroprobe pyrolyzer design with an established history of instrument support and service. All delivered instruments must be compatible with equipment currently in use in the Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory. The period of performance runs from June 30, 2026 through July 31, 2026, with installation and future utilization occurring at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.

STATEMENT OF WORK FORMAT
Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
May 2026
PR:
BACKGROUND
The Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory (AAL) in code 691 uses state-of-the-art commercial analytical instruments to investigate the distribution, origin, and formation processes of organic compounds in a variety of samples. These samples include extraterrestrial materials (e.g., carbonaceous meteorites or samples returned from NASA missions such as OSIRIS-REx), terrestrial natural samples, and laboratory analogs. The acquisition of a multi-shot pyrolyzer will add considerable capabilities (e.g., separation and identification of compounds based on their volatility) necessary for the analysis of trace organic species in complex mixtures beyond those possible using derivatization protocols.
These increased capabilities will assist in the identification of the nature and sources of organic compounds that may have contributed to the origin of life, directly addressing goals of NASA’s Strategic Plan to “what established the primordial inventories of volatile elements and compounds in the inner solar system?”. In addition, this instrument suite provides support testing for contamination and sample analysis for the OSIRIS-REx mission in FY26-27. This instrument suite is a core component of the Astrobiology
Analytical Laboratory (AAL) and therefore a maintenance service contract from the manufacturer is imperative.
SCOPE OF WORK
The multi-shot pyrolyzer system and associated options shall be delivered to the
Astrobiology Analytical Laboratory at NASA Goddard and installed. The technician shall perform the necessary work to set up the system and connect it to the electrical and gas supplies in the laboratory.
REQUIREMENTS
1) A built-in analytical trap that supports Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer (EGA/PY-3030D) for
AC110V.
2) A temperature control calibrated and programmable from ambient to 900°C with ±
0.1°C accuracy.
3) Compatibility with standard split/splitless injection port module (no Helium Saver
Option).
4) A MicroJet Cryo-Trap (MJT-2030E) for Thermo TRACE GC Ultra, and the necessary mass spectrometer connector to operate the system.
5) Installation must be included.
6) Familiarization training is required to train potential users of the instrument suite.
7) A one-year warranty is required.
8) The vendor must have a nationally recognized expertise with pyroprobe pyrolyzer design and an established history of instrument support and service.
9) The vendors’ instruments must be compatible with the instruments that are currently being used in the AAL.
DELIVERABLES OR DELIVERY SCHEDULE
• The contractor shall deliver a complete Frontier Laboratories, Ltd. Multi-Shot
Pyrolyzer (EGA/PY-3030D).
• The contractor shall deliver a Frontier Laboratories, Ltd. EGA/PY-3030D/
PY-3030S Installation kit for Thermo TRACE 1600 GC.
• Electronic manuals, documentation, and copies of the supporting software shall be delivered within 180 calendar days after the award.
• The system shall be installed, calibrated, and certified by a trained contractor technician.
PLACE OF PERFORMANCE
The installation and future utilization of this instrument will be in the Astrobiology
Analytical Laboratory at NASA Goddard.
PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE:
Start: June 30, 2026
End: July 31, 2026 mailto:jose.c.aponte@nasa.gov
