80KSC026R0022 NASA KSC Rechargers

NASA Kennedy Space Center seeks two high-pressure, high-flow nitrogen rechargers and associated equipment with proposals due September 14, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. This is a total small business set-aside, foreclosing competition outside that category.

Place of performance and delivery are Kennedy Space Center, Florida 32899, with equipment delivery required on or before March 31, 2028 on FOB Destination basis. Work also involves Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The NAICS code is 333914, Measuring, Dispensing, and Other Pumping Equipment Manufacturing, with a 750-employee size standard. The PSC is 6830, Gases: Compressed and Liquefied.

Offerors must propose either one Recharger-Truck Mounted or two Rechargers-Trailer and Tractor configurations. Rechargers must be direct-fire units compliant with 49 CFR transportation standards and ASME B31.3 piping codes, capable of delivering 12,000 scfm at 10,000 psig minimum with discharge gas temperature between 40°F and 100°F. The truck-mounted chassis must not exceed 60 feet long and 9 feet wide; onboard LN2 dewar capacity must exceed 2,000 gallons. All equipment must comply with NASA-STD-5008B coating standards. Offerors must submit pricing on a firm-fixed-price basis including transportation, spare parts for cold ends and relief valves, and past performance questionnaires completed by prior customers.

Evaluation follows a lowest-price-technically-acceptable source selection weighted on Technical Acceptability (pass/fail), Price, and Past Performance (acceptable/unacceptable). Proposals are submitted in four volumes: Price (Excel), Technical (7 pages PDF plus 10-page P&ID diagram), Past Performance (up to 3 pages per project PDF), and Other Required Information. Technical questions were due September 9, 2026; government responses to industry questions were posted September 10, 2026.
