Bustec ProDAQ6150

NASA Shared Services Center is procuring two Bustec ProDAQ 6150 LXI Isolated Precision Thermocouple Instruments along with two 19-inch 1U rack-mount kits through a brand name requirement solicitation. The agency has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ 80NSSC25903611Q) specifically requiring the Bustec ProDAQ 6150 model, which has been standardized by NASA's Testing and Facilities Division as their temperature measurement unit and is compatible with existing data acquisition systems. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), provide two points of contact, and demonstrate capability to meet all solicitation requirements. The procurement will be evaluated using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, with awards going to qualified vendors who can satisfy the technical specifications. The critical deadline for quote submissions is June 19, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Central Time, with all quotes to be submitted via email to the designated contracting officer.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 334515 for Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals. While no specific incumbent contractor is mentioned, the Brand Name Justification indicates that Bustec Inc. is the sole source manufacturer of the required ProDAQ 6150 units. The solicitation does not specify award values or budget ranges, focusing instead on the acquisition of the two 48-channel precision thermocouple instruments and accompanying rack-mount hardware. Performance requires delivery within 60 days after receipt of order to NASA Glenn Research Center locations in Cleveland, Ohio, and South Kingstown, Rhode Island. The brand name requirement stems from NASA's operational need to maintain compatibility with existing calibrated systems and the division's established technical knowledge base for this specific equipment model.
