NASA/NSSC has determined that Illinois Tool Works Inc. is the sole provider and intends to award under FAR 12.102(a); however, the agency will evaluate capability submissions to determine whether to pursue competitive acquisition instead. Performance occurs at NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The procurement seeks one set of hydraulic water-cooled wedge grips (upper and lower) with flat carbide-coated jaw faces in two size configurations (0"–0.31" and 0.28"–0.62" thickness), rated for ±100 kN tension and compression testing, plus a 100 kN alignment fixture for a 2580-50 kN load cell, attachment kit, installation services, and one-year warranty. Interested vendors must submit capability statements in writing only—oral communications and price quotes are not acceptable—to McKenzie Hanson at McKenzie.M.Hanson@nasa.gov, referencing the notice ID. Commercial item FAR Part 12 procedures apply. NAICS code 334519; PSC 6640.
