About this opportunity
NASA's Shared Services Center announced a sole-source justification for a high-resolution digital microscope to be procured from KEYENCE CORPORATION OF AMERICA under FAR 12.102(a), with a capability-statement deadline of August 17, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. Central Time. The Government has determined that KEYENCE is the sole provider capable of meeting the requirement and intends to issue a commercial-items contract; however, interested organizations may submit written capability statements by the deadline for evaluation solely to determine whether competitive procurement is warranted—a determination the Government retains discretion to make.
The microscope system will support metallurgical characterization at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Required performance includes 4K-class imaging with magnification from 5x to at least 2500x via motorized zoom optics, real-time capture at 30–50 frames per second, and telecentric high-resolution lens options with wide depth-of-field imaging. The system must deliver automated illumination optimization, 3D surface characterization using optical methods, high-resolution image stitching up to 100,000 × 100,000 pixel composites, automated defect-identification comparison tools, and traceable dimensional measurement. The mechanical platform requires a fully motorized XY stage with at least 300 mm travel, a vibration-free base, precision Z-axis movement, and automated depth composition. An integrated 27-inch 4K operator console with intuitive control is mandatory. Delivery to MSFC Building 4602 Room 1121 is required within 4 to 6 weeks after order, with a minimum five-year manufacturer warranty following installation. NAICS 334516; PSC 6640. Submit capability statements to Cody Guidry, Cody.d.guidry@nasa.gov.
