About this opportunity
NASA's National Shared Services Center (NSSC) is seeking to procure 60 EnSci Electrochemical Concentration Cell (ECC) ozonesondes for scientific research purposes, specifically supporting the SHADOZ long-term measurement station in Nairobi, Kenya. The procurement will be conducted as a sole source contract with JH Acquisitions, LLC, using the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) due to the company being the manufacturer of existing compatible ozonesondes. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on March 14, 2025, with the government retaining full discretion on whether to pursue competitive procurement. The evaluation of submitted capabilities will be solely to determine if the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis. NASA intends to acquire these commercial items using provisions and procedures outlined in FAR Part 12 and Part 13, with performance located at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
The procurement is not designated with any specific set-aside, and the contract will be awarded under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. JH Acquisitions, LLC is the incumbent and proposed sole source contractor, with the procurement covering ozonesondes to be launched from September 2025 to August 2026. The contract will support multi-decadal balloon-borne ozone profile records used for satellite validation, ozone and pollution trends, and climate studies. Instruments will be shipped to MeteoSwiss in Switzerland for logistics and distribution to the Nairobi measurement station. The contract duration is one year, and while specific award value was not disclosed, the procurement involves 60 specialized scientific instruments designed for atmospheric research. NASA has also noted the applicability of NASA Clause 1852.215-84, which provides for an acquisition ombudsman to address contractor concerns.
