B37 LN2 Tank Repair and Startup

NASA's Shared Services Center has published a Special Notice for B37 LN2 Tank Repair and Startup services required at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The agency intends to issue a sole source contract to LEAK TIGHT ANALYSIS INC., located in New Church, Virginia, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). NASA has determined that LEAK TIGHT ANALYSIS INC. is the sole provider capable of performing this specialized liquid nitrogen tank repair and startup work. The procurement falls under NAICS code 811310 for commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance. The government plans to acquire these services as commercial items using FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13 procedures.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to notify the contractor community of NASA's intent to proceed with sole source procurement while providing an opportunity for other organizations to demonstrate their capabilities. Interested contractors must submit their qualifications and capabilities in writing by 12 p.m. Central Standard Time on July 23, 2025, giving potential bidders only three days to respond. NASA will evaluate these submissions solely to determine whether the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis instead of sole source. Any organization believing they can perform the B37 LN2 tank repair and startup services may submit their credentials for consideration. However, the final decision on whether to maintain the sole source approach or open the procurement to full competition remains entirely at the government's discretion.
