About this opportunity
NASA/NSSC issued a sole-source procurement notice on August 20, 2026 for fabrication of acrylic tank hardware for HLS GTA slosh test, with a capability statement submission deadline of August 25, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. The Government intends to award a sole-source contract to Boston Plastics Manufacturing Inc. (dba Polyfab) under FAR 12.102(a) commercial item procedures, but will accept written capability statements only—not quotes—to evaluate whether to conduct a competitive procurement instead.
The requirement involves manufacturing eight acrylic tank components: four barrel sections and four dome sections, each with clear acrylic construction featuring polished interior and exterior surfaces. Manufacturing tasks include rough cutting, gluing, milling, deburring, polishing, inspection, cleaning, and heat-set insert installation. Each tank part must incorporate lift and handling hardware consisting of three quarter-inch-20 D-ring hoists mounted at 120-degree intervals on tank flanges using McMaster-Carr heat-set inserts (part number 94459A390), rated at 600 pounds load capacity per D-ring. All components must be manufactured to specifications in provided CAD models (STEP format) and lift location drawings.
Deliverables ship to NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Central Receiving, 4631 Saturn Road Building 4631, Huntsville, Alabama 35812, attention Russel A. Parks (256-961-1124). NAICS 326199; PSC 6640.
