Allen-Bradley Key Switches E1 Controls

NASA's Shared Services Center seeks quotation for 50 Allen-Bradley key switch components across 25 distinct part numbers, with quotes due June 29 at 7:00 a.m. CT and questions due June 26 at 7:00 a.m. CT. This is a brand-name mandatory procurement limited to authorized Allen-Bradley resellers only, with full and open competition and lowest price technically acceptable evaluation.

Place of performance and delivery is Building 4010, NASA Stennis Space Center, Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, on FOB Destination basis. All hardware must be new, unused, factory-certified genuine Allen-Bradley products meeting original manufacturer specifications; refurbished or substitute parts are prohibited. The procurement is hardware supply only, excluding installation, testing, integration, configuration, field engineering, spare parts not listed, accessories, mounting hardware, special tools, and logistics services beyond standard delivery.

The brand-name requirement is justified by native compatibility with existing Allen-Bradley racks and backplanes, standardized control architecture across multiple test stands, pre-engineered integration with NASA's existing PLC codebase and safety interlocks, and proven performance in high-reliability propulsion test environments. Alternate vendors were evaluated but determined not to meet requirements for reliability, compatibility, and integration safety.

Quotes must be valid for 30 days and include CAGE/UEI code, FOB destination confirmation, leadtime, and two points of contact with names, phone numbers, and email addresses. Offerors must be SAM.gov registered and provide representations and certifications including System for Award Management data, prohibition on inverted domestic corporations, and place of manufacture certification. The tracking number 80NSSC26934871Q-1 must be referenced in the email subject line to Shanna L. Patterson at Shanna.l.Patterson@nasa.gov. The NAICS code is 334516, Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; PSC is 6695, Combination and Miscellaneous Instruments.
