About this opportunity
NASA's Shared Services Center is procuring fabrication services for precision invar components required for the Artemis Lunar Laser Retroreflector program. The procurement seeks machining of three types of structural components from Government-furnished Invar-36 material, a specialized aerospace alloy with extremely low thermal expansion properties. The work requires compliance with attached technical drawings and specifications, and NASA intends to award this as a sole source contract under FAR 12.102(a) authority, which permits non-competitive procurement when it is determined that only one source can satisfy the Government's needs. The Government will evaluate any submitted capabilities and qualifications solely to determine whether to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis; however, the final decision to compete or proceed with the sole source award remains at the Government's sole discretion. The deadline for interested organizations to submit written capabilities and qualifications is May 1, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time.
This procurement includes no set-aside designations. T&M MACHINE SHOP INC, located at 12201 Distribution Place, Suite A, Beltsville, Maryland 20705-1407, has been identified as the sole proposed source. The contract requires delivery of 2 units of Housing Optic components, 6 units of Mount 3-Point components, and 2 units of Base Optical components, all within an 8-week performance period from contract award. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the solicitation materials. Work will be performed at the contractor's facility with final delivery required to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, with the Government furnishing all required Invar-36 material to eliminate material procurement responsibilities from the contractor.
