About this opportunity
NASA's Glenn Research Center is seeking to procure an ABB MR304SC spectroradiometer system with specific technical requirements for its sensing suite. The acquisition will be conducted as a sole source contract with ABB, Inc., using the rationale that they are the only responsible source capable of meeting NASA's precise specifications. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications electronically to Sara Stuart and Debbie Matthews by 3:00 PM CST on February 6, 2025. The government will evaluate these submissions solely to determine whether the procurement will be conducted on a competitive basis, with the final decision remaining entirely at their discretion. The procurement will follow FAR Part 12 guidelines for acquiring a commercial item, and NASA's Clause 1852.215-84 regarding the Ombudsman will be applicable to this acquisition.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this contract. The spectroradiometer system must meet detailed performance specifications, including specific wavelength responses, noise-equivalent spectral radiance requirements, and environmental operating conditions. The system requires dual input/output optical ports, Stirling-cooled MCT and InSb IR detectors, and must include control software with real-time recording capabilities. Physical requirements specify a maximum unit size of 40cm x 40cm x 40cm and a weight limit of 35kg, with delivery expected within 26 weeks after receipt of order (ARO) to NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The procurement falls under NAICS Category 334513 for Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing and PSC Category 7B20 for High Performance Compute Hardware and Software.
Notice text
NASA/Glenn Research Center (GRC) has a requirement for an ABB MR304SC spectroradiometer, telescope, and the associated software for Glenn Research Center (GRC). Please see the attached Statement of Work for requirements and specifications.
