About this opportunity
NASA's Shared Services Center issued a sole-source intent notice for design, integration, documentation, and training on Class IV laser safety interlocks, with a response deadline of July 28, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. Central Time. The agency intends to award a commercial contract to Electroimpact, Inc. (Mukilteo, Washington) under FAR 12.102(a) authority. Interested organizations may challenge this sole-source determination by submitting written capabilities and qualifications by the deadline; the government will evaluate responses solely to determine whether to proceed competitively, a decision made at its sole discretion.
The requirement supports the ISAAC (Integrated Structural Assembly of Advanced Composites) facility at NASA Langley Research Center, where an upgraded Automated Fiber Placement end effector now includes a Class IV laser heating system for thermoplastic composite manufacturing. The contractor must design and integrate physical, electronic, or software interlocks that interrupt robot and laser operation if triggered, perform baseline and acceptance testing of the laser system and all potentially impacted systems, and deliver onsite operator training for NASA Langley personnel covering AFP end effector operation, safety interlock functionality, laser system procedures, and manufacturing methods. Deliverables include drawings, operation manuals, and training materials. Performance is estimated January through March 2027 at NASA Langley, coordinated with concurrent laser barrier construction work. This is a commercial-items procurement under FAR Part 12 (NAICS 541715).
