About this opportunity
NASA Kennedy Space Center awarded contract 80TECH26P0020 valued at $843,326 to BlueHalo LLC on August 31, 2026, for a BlueHalo Robo-Met.3D Automated Serial Sectioning System under sole-source authority.
The award was made under FAR 6.103-1 (only one responsible source) following market research that identified no competing commercially available alternatives capable of delivering integrated automated metallographic serial sectioning, optical microscopy, large-volume three-dimensional characterization, and automated image acquisition and reconstruction in a single system. The system will be located at NASA Kennedy Space Center's Materials Analysis Laboratory in the O&C Building, Room 2211, and will provide advanced three-dimensional microstructural characterization capabilities for materials evaluation and failure analysis, including analysis of porosity, inclusions, grain structures, and cracks. A synopsis was posted on SAM.gov from July 16 to July 24, 2026, with no competing responses received. Estimated lead time is 26 weeks after receipt of order. No set-aside was used.
