About this opportunity
NASA Glenn Research Center seeks design and construction of the Aerospace Power Systems Laboratory (APSL), a 34,000-square-foot facility for advanced aerospace power systems research and testing, with Phase 1 proposals due October 30, 2026, and questions due October 12, 2026. The procurement is a two-phase design-build with up to three firms selected in Phase 1 for $150,000 stipends each, and one final awardee selected in Phase 2 anticipated to be solicited December 21, 2026.
Place of performance is Cleveland, Ohio, with work at NASA Glenn Research Center onsite and at the contractor's facilities offsite. The NAICS code is 236220, Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, with a $45 million small business size standard. The facility must accommodate cryogenic fluid storage and distribution, specialized mechanical systems, high-capacity electrical power, specialty life safety systems for hazardous test operations, and achieve minimum LEED Silver or two Green Globes certification. Facility clearance is required. The project is subject to Project Labor Agreements per OMB Memorandum M-24-06 and 29 CFR Parts 1910 and 1926 safety standards.
Phase 1 evaluation emphasizes technical qualifications and past performance (weighted approximately equally) over technical approach; price is not evaluated in Phase 1. Phase 1 proposals are limited to 95 pages and must be submitted electronically via NASA Box by 1:00 PM EST on October 30. Offerors must possess a CAGE code matching their corporate address, be registered in SAM, VETS-4212, and obtain a UEI. Phase 2, anticipated award December 21, 2026, will include detailed technical approach, past performance, and price evaluation, with technical approach weighted more heavily than price. Options 1 and 2 (complete design and construction) will be exercised for the Phase 2 awardee; Options 3 and 4 (incentives) are conditional on performance. Phase 2 performance is anticipated at approximately 1,080 calendar days after notice to proceed, with liquidated damages for delays.
