About this opportunity

NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center is seeking Design-Build services to modernize the High Pressure Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) Pump Facility (Facility 4659) located at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. This pre-solicitation notice represents Phase 1 of a Two-Phase Design-Build Selection Procedure, utilizing a Best Value Trade-off source selection approach that will consider both technical factors and price. Qualified firms must demonstrate experience in facility modernization, high-pressure system retrofits, and design-build projects, with particular expertise in replacing obsolete 1960s-era technology with modern automated systems. The government will evaluate contractors based on their technical capabilities, personnel qualifications, project experience, and feedback on scope and budget feasibility. Interested parties must submit responses limited to 10 pages electronically to the three designated NASA contacts by January 8, 2026, at 12:00 PM CST; this is a Request for Information only and no commitment to award will be made based on responses received.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents an estimated project budget of $6–7 million with an anticipated award in Q4 FY26 and an 18-month performance period. The project scope includes comprehensive upgrades such as replacing liquid nitrogen pumps, associated piping, valves, controls, storage vessels, instrumentation, and ancillary systems while maintaining uninterrupted operation of critical systems. No incumbent contractor is identified in this notice, indicating this is a new modernization initiative. Respondents are advised that the government will not pay for effort expended in responding to this request for information and that no questions will be accepted during the pre-solicitation phase.

Background:

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Marshall Space Flight 
Center (MSFC), is seeking information from qualified firms capable of providing 
Design-Build (D-B) services for the design and construction of equipment and 
controls upgrades for the High Pressure LN2 Facility (Facility 4659) at Redstone 
Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama. 

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), is seeking information from qualified firms capable of providing Design-Build (D-B) services for the design and construction of equipment and controls upgrades for the High Pressure LN2 Facility (Facility 4659) at Redstone Arsenal, Huntsville, Alabama.

The project will modernize 1960’s era technology by replacing liquid nitrogen (LN2) pumps, associated piping, valves, controls, and ancillary systems with a new automated system designed for durability, reliability, and reduced operational costs. The upgraded system will maintain or improve current capacity while reducing the number of pumps required. The anticipated award date is Q4 FY26 with an estimated period of performance of 18 months.
