About this opportunity
NASA is seeking quotes for a High Temperature Air Tension Tester through this Request for Quote (RFQ) issued by the NASA Information Technology Procurement Office. The procurement involves a sophisticated materials testing system capable of performing tension and compression testing of metallic samples at temperatures up to 1500°C, including a 100kN force capacity load frame, electrical actuator, load cell, extensometer options, and a three-zone furnace with independent temperature control. The system must include compatible Windows 11 software for creating custom test programs and operating in closed-loop force and strain control. The evaluation will follow a Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable process, with award going to the vendor providing the lowest total priced quote that meets or exceeds technical acceptability standards. Quotes are due by September 30, 2025, just five days after the solicitation was posted on September 25, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation materials. While the total contract price is listed as to be determined (TBD), vendors must provide a firm fixed price quote that includes all costs including shipping for delivery and installation. The contractor has nine months from contract award to complete delivery and installation of the high-temperature testing system. The place of performance is NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, where the vendor will be responsible for installation and initial configuration while NASA provides utility connections and sample thread couplings. The delivery terms are specified as FOB Destination, placing shipping risk on the contractor.
