About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center has published a Special Notice for the sole source procurement of a NanoScience Phenom XL G2 Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). This is designated as a sole source requirement with no set-aside provisions, and NASA intends to contract directly with Nanoscience Instruments Inc., located in Phoenix, Arizona. The procurement is being conducted under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) authority for commercial items and services, with the equipment destined for NASA Johnson Space Center's Cosmic Dust Laboratory. The notice was posted on August 7, 2025, with a response deadline of August 11, 2025. The procurement falls under NAICS code 513210 for Software Publishers.
The primary objective of this sole source justification is to acquire specialized laboratory equipment that meets the Cosmic Dust Laboratory's unique requirements for analyzing insulating particles without conductive coating, compositional analysis capabilities, and accommodation of large sample collection surfaces from Kwajalein Island samples and balloon flights. NASA's market research determined that only the Phenom XL G2 with extended motorized stage option can provide the critical combination of 100mm stage movement capability and low-vacuum operation at levels below 5Pa that other manufacturers cannot match. Interested organizations may submit capability statements and qualifications in writing by 7 a.m. Central Standard Time on August 11, 2025, though NASA retains discretion to proceed with the sole source procurement regardless of responses received. The system includes comprehensive specifications such as acceleration voltages from 4.8kV to 20.5kV, maximum 200,000x magnification, EDS upgrade capabilities, and delivery within 7-10 weeks after receipt of order. Oral communications are not acceptable, and all submissions must be directed to the designated NASA procurement specialists.
