Electron Gun with Dual Grid Pulsing and Power Supply System

NASA Shared Services Center is seeking to procure an Electron Gun with Dual Grid Pulsing and Power Supply System through a competitive small business solicitation. The Request for Quotation (RFQ) requires vendors to supply a sophisticated electron gun system with specific technical specifications, including an energy range of 10 eV to 1500 eV, beam current from 1 nA to 100 mA, and dual grid pulsing capabilities. Potential contractors must be registered in SAM.gov and complete telecommunications equipment certifications as outlined in FAR 52.204-24 and 52.204-26. The contract will be awarded using a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology, with quotes due by February 13, 2025, at 3:00 PM CT. Vendors must submit their quotes directly to Cara Craft at cara.s.craft@nasa.gov and are required to include their CAGE code, delivery lead time, and two points of contact.

The solicitation is specifically set aside for small businesses within the Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (NAICS 334516) category, with a Product Service Code of 6695 for Combination and Miscellaneous Instruments. The electron gun system must be mountable via a 2.75" (2") Conflat flange and provide a beam spot size between 1mm to 100mm with uniform flood beam characteristics. While specific award value details are not explicitly stated in the provided documents, the procurement appears to be for a precise scientific instrumentation system intended for laboratory or research applications. Delivery will be FOB destination, suggesting the equipment will be shipped directly to NASA's specified delivery location. The comprehensive technical requirements indicate this is a specialized procurement targeting vendors with advanced electromagnetic and electronic instrumentation manufacturing capabilities.
