About this opportunity
NASA Johnson Space Center intends to issue a sole-source contract to Marotta Controls Inc. for two modified MV130X valves and a development plan for the MFV400 Regulator, with capability submissions due by May 26, 2026. The procurement is predicated on Marotta Controls' exclusive control of proprietary designs, specifications, drawings, and manufacturing processes; no other supplier can legally or technically produce or modify this hardware.
Work is performed at NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio. The MV130X valves must incorporate PTFE or equivalent MAPTIS A-rated material seals to replace Vespel seals for hypergolic exposure compatibility, operate at 6,000 psi, and handle 25 to 120 grams per second of gaseous helium over hundreds of cycles. The development plan must address recommendation #1 from NESC-TI-20-01535 regarding the MFV400 Regulator. Modified valves with associated test paperwork are due before October 30, 2026; the development plan is due before December 31, 2026. Delays in procurement will impact Artemis mission testing needs.
The Government will evaluate unsolicited capability statements solely to determine whether to conduct the acquisition competitively; any decision against full and open competition rests with NASA. The acquisition falls under FAR Part 12 (commercial items), NAICS 332912, PSC 4810. Interested vendors should submit qualifications to andrea.browne-1@nasa.gov by 5:00 PM Central Time on May 26, 2026.
