GEER Feedthrough Gold and Molybdenum Wire

NASA Shared Services Center is seeking quotes for specialized feedthrough gold and molybdenum wire materials through a Request for Quotation process. The procurement includes 25 feet of 99.99% pure gold wire at 0.010" diameter (30 gauge), 450 feet of 99.99% pure gold wire at 0.020" diameter (24 gauge), and 500 feet of 99.95% pure molybdenum wire at 0.020" diameter (24 gauge). All wire materials must meet ASTM B562-95 standards and include material certifications, with the option to supply materials in multiple shorter spools of at least 15 feet in length. The evaluation will use a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) method, where offers meeting all technical requirements will be evaluated solely on price. Quotes are due by June 27, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. Central Time, and must be submitted electronically to Monica Wilson along with SAM entity information and two points of contact.

This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business concerns registered in SAM.gov. The required delivery date for all materials is September 26, 2025, providing approximately three months for fulfillment after award. While the exact contract value is not specified in the solicitation documents, the procurement involves relatively small quantities of high-purity precious and refractory metals. The contract appears to support NASA's Glenn Research Center operations, with delivery expected to a NASA facility, likely in Mississippi based on the NASA Shared Services Center's location at Stennis Space Center. Offerors must comply with various federal acquisition regulations and provide representations regarding business size, ownership, and regulatory compliance as part of their submission requirements.
