About this opportunity
NASA's Information Technology Procurement Office intends to issue a sole-source contract to BlueHalo, LLC for the Robo-Met 3D Automated Serial Sectioning System, with a capabilities-submission deadline of July 24, 2026 at 12:00 PM CDT. The procurement is predicated on sole-source justification under FAR 6.103-1, as BlueHalo is identified as the only responsible source capable of supplying this advanced three-dimensional microstructural characterization system. NASA will acquire the equipment as a commercial product under FAR Part 12.
The equipment will be delivered to Kennedy Space Center to provide 3D microstructural characterization capabilities. Interested organizations may submit capabilities and qualifications electronically to Cory Rasnic (cory.t.rasnic@nasa.gov) by the stated deadline. NASA will evaluate submissions solely to determine whether to proceed on a competitive basis; the Government reserves discretion to abandon the sole-source approach and conduct full and open competition based on response content.
NASA Clause 1852.215-84 (Ombudsman) applies to this acquisition. The Center Ombudsman is identified in NASA's Procurement Ombudsman and Competitive Advocate listing.
