About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Armstrong Flight Research Center (NASA/AFRC) has issued a Special Notice regarding a sole source contract modification for the Hydrogen Electrical Power System (HEPS). The notice pertains to a specific requirement to add an automatic shutoff for the reactant gas supply to the Tipping Point Rocket Locker Hardware. NASA intends to issue this modification directly to Teledyne Energy Systems, Inc. under the authority of Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, which allows for sole sourcing when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The notice is classified under the NAICS category of Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, specifically within the Space R&D Services sector. The opportunity was posted on January 2, 2025, with a response deadline of January 8, 2025.
Interested organizations are invited to submit their capabilities and qualifications electronically via email to Roxana Romero and Lonna Rumsey by 12:00 PM PST on January 8, 2025. The purpose of these submissions is solely to evaluate whether the acquisition should be conducted on a competitive basis, with the final determination remaining entirely at the government's discretion. NASA will not be pursuing this as a commercial item acquisition under FAR Part 12. Contractors should note that the NASA Clause 1852.215-84 regarding the Ombudsman is applicable to this opportunity, and a list of Center Ombudsmen is available through a provided URL. While this is a sole source notice, NASA is still providing an opportunity for other organizations to demonstrate their potential capabilities. The contract modification aims to enhance the safety and functionality of the Hydrogen Electrical Power System by implementing an automatic shutoff mechanism for the reactant gas supply.
