STATEMENT OF WORK TEMPLATE

1.0 Introduction/Background: NASA Langley Research Center requires modernized plasma gun components to upgrade an existing Tekna vacuum plasma spray system used for advanced materials research, testing, and coating applications. The current system requires updated components to maintain operational capability and ensure continued research productivity, as the present gun components are outdated and no longer serviced by Tekna. This procurement addresses the critical need for OEM-compatible replacement parts and custom components that integrate seamlessly with existing Tekna infrastructure while providing enhanced performance characteristics essential for NASA's materials research under the STMD Dust Mitigation and Environmental Material Solutions (DMEMS) effort.

2.0 Scope of Work: This Statement of Work covers the procurement of specialized plasma gun components, custom torch parts, supersonic nozzle assemblies, ceramic and quartz tubes, sheathed probes, EMI shielding hardware, O‑rings, and associated accessories from Tekna Plasma Systems Inc. required for full modernization of the PN070 plasma torch model.

3.0 Objectives: The overall objective is to provide NASA with OEM-quality plasma gun components and custom parts that ensure continued operational capability of existing Tekna plasma systems while enhancing performance and reliability for critical materials research applications and testing configurations.
