Intelligent Interfaces for a Computer Tomography Scanner

NASA's Shared Services Center has issued a Special Notice for Intelligent Interfaces for a Computer Tomography Scanner, posted on August 14, 2025. This is a Sole Source Synopsis indicating NASA's intent to award a contract exclusively to Glimpse Engineering, Inc. under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), determining them as the sole provider of these specialized CT scanner interfaces. The procurement involves acquiring a battery cell CT scanning visualization and analysis software solution for a microfocus CT scanner, which will be utilized at NASA Johnson Space Center. The opportunity falls under NAICS code 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, with a submission deadline of 1 p.m. Central Standard Time on August 19, 2025.

The primary objective is to procure a comprehensive CT scanning system that includes an interface computer with advanced scan volume processing capabilities and a cloud-based analysis portal compliant with NASA security regulations. The system must feature specific technical requirements including a 225 kV X-ray source, high-resolution detector capabilities, and helical scanning functions with precise voxel sizing for different cell types. Interested organizations may submit capability statements and qualifications in writing to the designated contracting officer, Cara Craft, by the August 19 deadline for evaluation purposes. NASA will assess these submissions to determine whether the procurement should be conducted competitively, though the final determination remains at the government's discretion. The contract includes a basic program with four optional one-year extensions, encompassing delivery within 8 weeks, installation and training within 4 weeks after delivery, and ongoing technical support and maintenance services.
