DC Converters

NASA's Shared Services Center has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to Crane Electronics Inc. of Lynnwood, Washington for DC DC Converters. The procurement involves the acquisition of 6 SMRT288R7S/BR SMRT Single Space DC-DC Converters classified as Class I flight items for what appears to be an aerospace or satellite-related project. The performance period runs from July 10, 2025, through March 20, 2026, with work to be performed at NASA Johnson Space Center. The procurement will follow FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures for commercial items and falls under NAICS code 334419 for Other Electronic Component Manufacturing. NASA has determined that Crane Electronics Inc. is the sole provider capable of supplying these specialized converters.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide other qualified sources an opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities before NASA proceeds with the sole source award to Crane Electronics Inc. Interested organizations must submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing to the contracting officer, Cara Craft, by 1:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on August 19, 2025. Oral communications will not be accepted, and all submissions must be provided in writing via email. NASA will evaluate these capability statements solely to determine whether the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis rather than as a sole source acquisition. The deliverables include the 6 DC-DC converters with a single lot date code per model and lot sizes not exceeding 15 pieces, along with compliance to specific quality requirements outlined in the attached documentation.
