About this opportunity
NASA/NSSC is conducting a sole-source procurement for a Monochromator for Empyrean XRD, with capability statements due by 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on August 26, 2026. The agency intends to award to Malvern Panalytical Inc, 2400 Computer Drive, Suite 201, Westborough, MA 01581, under FAR 12.102(a), as the sole identified provider of the required monochromator. Performance will occur at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama.
The procurement covers procurement and installation of a Ge [220] monochromator upgrade for an existing Empyrean X-Ray Diffraction unit. The vendor must supply the monochromator compatible with the existing system, provide all hardware and labor, deliver installation and calibration services by an OEM-certified technician or authorized service representative, and ensure the instrument operates within manufacturer-specified tolerances. Hardware delivery is required within 4 to 6 weeks after receipt of order, with installation and calibration coordinated with MSFC and completed promptly thereafter. Delivery occurs at MSFC Central Shipping and Receiving, 4631 Saturn Road; installation takes place at MSFC Building 4602, Huntsville, AL 35812. Final acceptance requires MSFC verification that hardware arrived undamaged, installation succeeded, calibration was completed, and the XRD unit produces expected high-resolution data.
Interested organizations may submit capability statements in writing only—oral communications and quotes are not acceptable—to Cody Guidry, Procurement Specialist II, Cody.d.guidry@nasa.gov, by the August 26 deadline. The Government will evaluate responses solely to determine whether to conduct competitive procurement; a decision to compete remains at Government discretion. NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies).
