Plug25 Mixer Hardware

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NASA SSC) is seeking a manufacturing contractor to produce Plug25 Mixer Hardware through Solicitation 80NSSC25897311Q. The contract requires manufacturing and final machining of nine different mixer configurations, with materials specified as either 300 series Stainless Steel Alloy or Inconel 718. Key requirements include providing 100% dimensional inspection documentation, submitting weekly status updates with accompanying pictures, and delivering the mixers within 9-11 weeks after order receipt. The solicitation mandates contractors submit Mill Test Reports and Certificates of Conformance for all materials and special processes. Technical questions must be submitted by March 10, 2025, and quotes are due by March 12, 2025 at 12:00 PM CT to Sara Jusino-Terry. NASA will evaluate and award the contract using a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) basis to a responsible offeror.

The solicitation is open market and not specifically set aside, though it appears suitable for small businesses. Each of the nine mixer configurations requires one unit to be produced, with the NAICS code 332510 for Hardware Manufacturing and PSC category 9545 for Precious Metal Plates and Sheets. Delivery terms are FOB Destination, meaning the seller covers transportation costs and risks until the goods are received at the NASA Shared Services Center at Stennis Space Center. While specific award value is not detailed in the documents, the technical complexity and specialized manufacturing requirements suggest a moderate-value contract. The procurement timeline indicates a rapid turnaround, with contractors expected to complete production and delivery within approximately 9-11 weeks of order placement. Potential bidders must demonstrate technical capability to precisely manufacture these specialized mixer components to NASA's exacting specifications.
