About this opportunity
This notice from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Kennedy Space Center (KSC) intends to award a sole source contract to Thunder Scientific Corp. for one Thunder Scientific Model 9500 Automated Humidity Generator. The generator will replace an existing Thunder Scientific Model 9000 unit that is end of life and beyond repair.
Only the Thunder Scientific Model 9500 meets NASA's requirements for maximum uncertainty values of 0.17% of reading plus 0.016 relative humidity. Thunder Scientific Corp. is the original equipment manufacturer and sole distributor of the Thunder Scientific Model 9500.
The justification for other than full and open competition cites that procuring another manufacturer's brand would require developing new processes, procedures, and calibration documentation, resulting in cost, data entry, and schedule delays.
Interested parties have until June 2, 2023 to submit statements of capability, but are notified no cost reimbursement will be provided. This notice allows for potential competition while acknowledging the justification for a sole source award to the manufacturer based on the requirement for a like replacement unit.
