Anton Paar Dynamic Image Analyzer System or Equivalent

NASA Shared Services Center is seeking to procure an Anton Paar Dynamic Image Analyzer System or equivalent for NASA Langley Research Center through a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The system must include a dynamic image analyzer with particle size range capabilities of 0.5 mm to 16,000 mm, capable of characterizing particle size, shape, and distribution, along with liquid and dry jet dispersion units, computer, monitor, Kalliope Professional software, particle size standards, and preventive maintenance services. The procurement requires comprehensive particle analysis capabilities including precise single-particle resolution, interchangeable dispersion units for both wet and dry particle evaluation, advanced particle filtering by size and shape, and simultaneous size, shape, and image analysis functionality. The contract will be awarded using a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology, where offerors must demonstrate they can meet all solicitation requirements to be considered for award. The deadline for quote submissions is July 30, 2025, with delivery required by September 30, 2025.

No information regarding potential incumbents or current contractors is provided in the solicitation materials. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the available documentation, the procurement includes delivery of the complete analyzer system with associated equipment and two preventive maintenance on-site service visits by a certified Anton Paar service engineer. The delivery timeline is approximately 5-7 weeks after receipt of order, with a firm delivery deadline of September 30, 2025. The place of performance is NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, where the specialized scientific instrument will be installed and operated.
