Bandpass Filters

NASA's National Shared Services Center (NSSC) has issued a Special Notice for the procurement of Bandpass Filters, with the intention of awarding a sole source contract to ALLUXA, INC. located in Santa Rosa, California. The procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), which allows for direct award to a single provider when they are determined to be the sole source for a specific product or service. The performance of this contract will be located at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, and the procurement falls under NAICS code 327215 for Glass Product Manufacturing. NASA intends to acquire these commercial items and services using provisions outlined in FAR Parts 12 and 13, indicating a streamlined acquisition approach.

Interested organizations have the opportunity to submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing by May 19, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time to potentially challenge the sole source determination. The government will evaluate these submissions solely to determine whether the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis, with the final decision remaining entirely at the government's discretion. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice, and all submissions must be in writing. The procurement includes the NASA Clause 1852.215-84 regarding an Ombudsman, with additional contact information available through NASA's website. Contractors should note that while this is currently planned as a sole source contract to ALLUXA, INC., there is a brief window for other firms to demonstrate their capabilities and potentially influence the procurement strategy.
