Accurate Thermal Systems Fluidized Temperature Bed

NASA's Shared Services Center is procuring a specialized fluidized temperature bed system from Accurate Thermal Systems for the Glenn Research Center's magnetic core annealing operations in prototype power systems research. The comprehensive procurement includes eight specific components: an FTBSL15 fluidized temperature bath with 240VAC single-phase power and 4000W capacity featuring a 7" diameter by 15" depth working area, 100 lbs of 120 mesh aluminum oxide working media, exhaust collar, lid, air filter-regulator with digital pressure gauge, two sizes of parts baskets, a DCU air filtration system with 120VAC power and 210 CFM variable speed blower, dust collection cyclone, and replacement filter. This is a "Brand Name or Equal To" requirement specifically for Accurate Thermal Systems equipment, designed to provide precisely controlled temperature environments with accelerated heat transfer for specialized magnetic alloy research and development. The evaluation will be conducted using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, with quotes that cannot demonstrate satisfactory ability to meet all solicitation requirements being removed from consideration. Interested offerors must submit their quotes by September 25, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. Central Time via email to Laura Quave, with all correspondence referencing Notice ID 80NSSC25916863Q.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, requiring offerors to be registered in SAM.gov and provide two points of contact along with their CAGE code and UEI number. No incumbent contractors or potential award values are specified in the solicitation documents. The complete system has a lead time of 4-6 weeks after contract award, with delivery terms set as FOB Destination and payment terms of Net 30, though the government will not use credit cards for payment. The equipment will be delivered to NASA's John H. Glenn Research Center in the United States, where it will support ongoing research activities related to magnetic core annealing for prototype power systems. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals) and PSC category 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies), reflecting the specialized nature of the temperature control system being acquired.
