About this opportunity
NASA's Shared Services Center is announcing a sole source procurement for an Anton Paar TRB3 Tribometer, with interested organizations required to submit written capabilities and qualifications by August 7, 2026 at 7:00 a.m. Central Standard Time. The Government has determined that Anton Paar USA, Inc. is the sole provider of this equipment and intends to award under FAR 12.102(a) as a commercial item acquisition. However, NASA reserves the right to conduct competitive procurement based on responses received, and the Government will evaluate submitted capabilities solely to determine whether to proceed competitively.
The tribometer system will be procured for NASA Langley Research Center's Advanced Materials & Processing Branch and includes three specific components: the TRB3 Tribometer Base (Part No. 184071/90248000), Linear Module with Sample Holder (Part No. 184188/90249000), and Rotating Sample Holder (Part No. 184187/90249000), each in a quantity of one unit. Performance will occur at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia with a 30-day lead time after receipt of order. The TRB3 offers dual friction-force sensors with real-time thermal-drift correction, integrated environmental monitoring, high-precision load and friction resolution, and ASTM/DIN compliance. Sole source justification cites compatibility and continuity with NASA Langley's existing Anton Paar instrument ecosystem, reduced training requirements, and minimized operational risk. Oral communications are not acceptable; submit written responses to Shanna L. Patterson (Shanna.L.Patterson@nasa.gov).
