About this opportunity
NASA's Shared Services Center is conducting a sources sought for an AconityMINI Laser Beam Melting System with sole-source intent to AconityUS, Inc., with capability statements due October 8, 2026 at 7:00 a.m. Central Standard Time. The procurement is a sole-source acquisition under FAR 12.102(a) for commercial items, conducted under FAR Part 12 authority.
NASA Langley Research Center's Durability, Damage Tolerance, & Reliability Branch requires one used AconityMINI system (Part No. 1001014513) featuring a 1 kW AFX Fiber Laser, 140 mm build platform, and AconitySTUDIO software, plus one AconitySERVICE Bronze support package. AconityUS is the sole known manufacturer offering open-source control software API required for the team's specific research and development activities and integration with customized hardware. The vendor possesses a pre-manufactured unit available at 30 percent discount from standard pricing. Competition is impractical due to equipment incompatibility with required APIs; alternative vendors would necessitate additional engineering modifications, increase costs, and create schedule delays that would prevent planned FY27 milestones for the Transformational Tools and Technologies subproject.
Interested organizations must submit written capability statements and qualifications by October 8, 2026 to Shanna L. Patterson (Shanna.L.Patterson@nasa.gov), referencing the notice ID. Capability statements will be evaluated to determine whether the Government should conduct competitive procurement; quotes and oral communications are not acceptable. Performance occurs at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. NAICS 541715; PSC 7A20.
