About this opportunity

NASA's Shared Services Center has published a Special Notice for the procurement of one helium leak detector system for the Multifunctional Nanosensor Platform (MNP) project. The agency intends to issue a sole source contract to UHV TECH SERVICES INC of South Tamworth, New Hampshire, under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) authority, having determined that this company is the sole provider of the required equipment. The procurement will utilize commercial item acquisition procedures under FAR Parts 12 and 13, with performance taking place at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The contract falls under NAICS Code 334513 for instruments and related products manufacturing for measuring, displaying, and controlling industrial process variables. NASA/NSSC will serve as the procuring center for this specialized equipment acquisition.

The specific requirement is for one Edwards ELD500 FLEX Helium Leak Detector System, complete with accessories including a scroll pump, certified internal leak standard, wheeled cart, and stainless-steel flexible hose, designed to support ultra-low gas concentration testing with a minimum detectable helium leak rate of 5×10⁻¹² mbar·L/s in vacuum mode. Interested organizations may submit written capabilities and qualifications to challenge the sole source determination by 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on July 29, 2025, though oral communications are not acceptable. The government will evaluate these submissions solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis, with the final decision remaining at the government's discretion. The system is expected to be delivered within 4-6 weeks after order placement and will include factory calibration certificates, installation-ready equipment, and comprehensive product manuals to support NASA's advanced nanosensor research initiatives.
