About this opportunity
NASA's Shared Services Center (NSSC) has issued a Special Notice solicitation for Modicon M580 Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) equipment and related industrial automation hardware components required by NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) in Cleveland, Ohio. The procurement, identified as solicitation number 80NSSC26929072Q, represents a brand name requirement for Schneider Electric equipment that has evolved from an initial sole source determination to a full and open competition. This Special Notice seeks qualified vendors to supply 28 different hardware components with quantities ranging from 2 to 76 units per part number, including racks, backplanes, power supply modules, processor modules, communication modules, input/output modules, cables, and protective covers.
The primary objective of this procurement is to acquire new, unused Schneider Electric hardware in original packaging to support GRC's upgrade of legacy Quantum PLC systems to M580 units, ensuring compatibility and standardization across the facility's controls and instrumentation infrastructure. Prospective vendors must submit quotations by April 21, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Central Time to procurement specialist Laura Quave and must maintain quote validity for 30 days, with delivery required within 30 days after receipt of order to NASA GRC Building 14, Room 111. Eligible contractors must be authorized and certified Schneider Electric Alliance Industrial Automation Distributor (IAD) program members capable of purchasing directly from Schneider Electric, with verification available through Schneider Electric's official distributor portal, and must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov). The procurement is set aside for small business concerns, with award determination made using lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation criteria, and incorporates standard FAR and NASA FAR Supplement clauses including provisions for commercial items, export licenses, whistleblower protections, and sustainable products and services.
