About this opportunity
NASA Shared Services Center announced on October 21, 2026, its intent to issue a sole-source contract to Ralph A. Felice, Inc. DBA FAR Associates for a FAR Spectro Pyrometer system, with capability statements due October 23, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. The Government reserves the right to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis based on responses received.
NASA Marshall Space Flight Center requires a Model FMPI SpectroPyrometer System for non-contact thermal diagnostics capable of continuous measurement across 300°C to 2000°C with 0.1°C resolution and 250+ spectral channels across the 900–1700 nanometer wavelength band. The system must incorporate an expert system for dynamic true-temperature calculation without prior operator knowledge of target material emissivity, real-time measurement tolerance reporting (0.15 percent typical), automatic off-gas and environmental compensation, and analog temperature output in 4–20 milliAmp format (with 0–10 VDC or 0–20 mA alternatives). Raw data storage and 30 days of post-purchase data analysis are included. Delivery is required within 18–26 weeks ARO to either Central Receiving (4631 Saturn Road) or General Receiving (4205 Morris Road), both in Huntsville, Alabama.
Ralph A. Felice, Inc. DBA FAR Associates is identified as the sole provider of this system under FAR 12.102(a). The procurement applies commercial-item procedures under FAR Part 12 and NAICS 334513. Interested organizations must submit written capability statements only—quotes will not be evaluated. NASA FAR Supplement Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, applies.
