About this opportunity
NASA Johnson Space Center is seeking contractor support for laser screening and lot qualification testing services for the Primary Constituent Monitor (PCM) Project on the Gateway lunar architecture's Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO) module. The agency requires 100% screening of lasers for flight hardware in accordance with NASA-STD-8739.11 (draft), specifically covering three laser types: Nanoplus DFB-076083 for oxygen detection, Vertilas VL-1393-1-SQ-A5 for water vapor detection, and Vertilas VL-2003-1-SQ-A5 for carbon dioxide detection. The solicitation encourages responses from all interested and capable companies, with a strong emphasis on small businesses across all socioeconomic categories. Potential contractors must submit written responses by March 17, 2025, to help NASA assess industry capabilities for meeting the project's technical requirements. Questions can be submitted via phone or email during the open period, with the technical point of contact being Emily Rabel at NASA Johnson Space Center.
The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity is open to all qualified contractors. The contract involves testing 167 total laser units (65 for oxygen, 51 for water vapor, and 51 for carbon dioxide detection) that will be used in a PCM system operating for up to 40 days during Artemis missions to Gateway. While specific award values are not disclosed, the testing is critical for monitoring atmospheric conditions before, during, and after crew presence in the lunar habitat. The government will provide two key documents—the PCM Laser Source Control Document and Laser Allocation Direction—within one month of contract award. The opportunity falls under NAICS Category 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) and PSC Category H159 (Quality Control for Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components), suggesting a highly specialized technical procurement focused on precise laser testing and qualification.
