100 Cal Cell Heater Emmiter, 100 Cal Cell Heater Detector, 100 4x4 Heater Detector, 4x4 Heater Emitter, 4 NRE fees, 4 FAI Fees

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has issued a Special Notice for a sole source procurement of specialized heater components for space flight hardware. The notice specifically seeks to acquire 100 Cal Cell Heater Emitters, 100 Cal Cell Heater Detectors, 100 4x4 Heater Detectors, 4x4 Heater Emitters, along with 4 NRE fees and 4 FAI fees. NASA intends to award the contract directly to MINCO PRODUCTS INC, which has been identified as the only capable provider for these technical components. The procurement falls under the Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing NAICS category (334413) and will utilize commercial item procedures under FAR Parts 12 and 13. The contract performance will take place at NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to procure critical heater components with unique technical specifications that are essential for NASA's space flight hardware project. Interested contractors are invited to submit capability statements by 9:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on December 30, 2024, though NASA reserves the right to proceed with the sole source award to MINCO PRODUCTS INC. The Statement of Work requires precise manufacturing standards, including Certificates of Compliance, lot numbers, dimension inspections, and First Article Inspection Reports for all parts. Potential contractors should note the specific technical requirements, such as small footprint heaters with precise resistance and power output capabilities. The procurement timeline indicates a 7-week lead time, with estimated delivery by the end of January. While the notice is marked as a sole source requirement, NASA has technically allowed for potential alternative vendors to demonstrate comparable capabilities before the submission deadline.
