About this opportunity
NASA's National Shared Services Center (NSSC) is seeking to procure custom platinum O-rings for spectrometer instrument systems, specifically for NASA's Gas Processing Systems in MOMA and VMS mass spectrometer suites. The agency intends to issue a sole source contract to ADAPTAS SOLUTIONS, LLC under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), based on their status as the manufacturer of these specialized components. The procurement will involve two types of platinum O-rings: 271 units of PT10020 10-56 O-rings and 196 units of PT15125 12-56 O-rings, which are critical seal components for custom plumbing fittings that must achieve specific leak rates in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) instrumentation. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing by February 28, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, with the government reserving the right to determine whether to proceed with full and open competition. The evaluation will focus solely on assessing potential competitive sources for the procurement.
There is no specific set-aside designation for this contract, and the procurement is classified under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. The performance will be located at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), with a production timeline of 10-12 weeks after purchase request receipt. ADAPTAS SOLUTIONS, LLC is the anticipated sole source contractor, and the one-use seals must maintain UHV interfaces through various mechanical and thermal environments. While no specific award value is mentioned, the contract requires material certification and origin documentation for each lot at no additional cost. The procurement will follow FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures for acquiring commercial items and services, with the NASA Clause 1852.215-84 Ombudsman provision applicable to the acquisition process.
