HPIW - Net New - HPIW Cooper Engine Remote Control System

NASA's Shared Services Center has issued a Special Notice announcing a sole source procurement for an HPIW Cooper Engine Remote Control System. This presolicitation notice, posted on February 2, 2026, represents NASA's intent to award a sole source contract to MOTOR-SERVICES HUGO STAMP, INC for engineering and commissioning services at the High Pressure Industrial Water Facility located at NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. The procurement is being conducted under FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13 for commercial items and services, classified under NAICS Code 541519 (Other Computer Related Services). NASA has determined that the selected vendor is the sole provider capable of delivering the required system within the project constraints. The justification for sole source procurement emphasizes the vendor's proven expertise, prior performance history, onsite presence, and unmatched familiarity with the existing systems at Stennis Space Center.

The primary objective of this procurement is to enable remote start/stop functionality for four copper generators at the Stennis Space Center facility to support upcoming rocket testing operations. The work involves delivering a comprehensive turnkey project including specialized hardware (two desktop workstations with Aveva Edge runtime licenses), system integration with existing Allen Bradley PLCs, and on-site commissioning and startup support within an 8-12 week period. Interested organizations may submit written capabilities and qualifications by February 5, 2026, at 8 a.m. Central Standard Time to challenge the sole source determination, though NASA reserves the right to make the final competitive determination at its discretion. Only firms capable of demonstrating equivalent or superior capabilities to provide the required remote control system modifications and commissioning services may be considered as alternative vendors. All submissions must be directed to Stephanie Graham, Procurement Specialist, at Stephanie.N.Graham@nasa.gov, and oral communications will not be accepted.
