Kulite Pressure Scanners or Equivalent

NASA Shared Services Center is seeking to procure Kulite Pressure Scanners or equivalent for the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. The solicitation requires specific pressure scanner models with precise technical specifications, including 16-channel systems capable of measuring pressures at 25 psid/25 psia and 50 psia/100 psia. The procurement will be evaluated using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, where vendors must demonstrate they can meet all solicitation requirements to be considered responsive. Vendors are required to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and must submit quotes via email to Shanna Patterson by April 7, 2025, at 7 a.m. CT. All contractual and technical questions must be submitted in writing by April 4, 2025, and quotes shall remain valid for 30 days.

The solicitation is set aside for small businesses and falls under NAICS category 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. The contract requires one unit each of two specific pressure scanner models with demanding technical requirements, including thermal compensation (0-130 deg F), high accuracy (+/- 0.2%), and compatibility with IEEE-standard digitization software like LabVIEW or MATLAB. The performance period is expected to be 8-10 weeks after receipt of order, with all work to be completed at NASA Langley Research Center. While the total firm fixed price is to be determined, the procurement emphasizes precise hardware specifications such as compact size (64-port system not exceeding 2x2x5 inches), data transmission capabilities, and vibration tolerance. Vendors must provide their CAGE/UEI code, lead time for delivery, and a point of contact to be considered for this critical scientific equipment replacement.
