Plug25 Mixer Hardware

NASA Shared Services Center is seeking to procure Plug25 Mixer Hardware through a competitive solicitation with a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation approach. The procurement involves manufacturing precision mixers in 300 series Stainless Steel Alloy or Inconel 718, requiring complex manufacturing capabilities including machining, inspection, non-destructive testing, coating, materials processing, and assembly. Potential offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and provide two points of contact with their quote submission. The solicitation (number 80NSSC25897311Q) requires detailed technical compliance across nine different mixer configuration drawings, with strict quality assurance and dimensional inspection standards. Quotes are due by March 26, 2025, at 12 p.m. Central Time, with an expectation of a rapid procurement cycle.

This contract opportunity is not set aside for any specific small business category and appears to be an open market procurement within the Hardware Manufacturing (NAICS 332510) sector. NASA Glenn Research Center anticipates a delivery timeline of 9-11 weeks after order receipt, suggesting a relatively short production window. While specific award value is not disclosed in the available documentation, the complexity of the manufacturing requirements indicates a technically sophisticated procurement. The mixers will likely be produced at a facility capable of precision metalworking and meeting NASA's stringent engineering specifications. The procurement falls under the Product Service Code 9515 for Plate, Sheet, Strip, Foil, and Leaf, which aligns with the specified material requirements for the Plug25 Mixer Hardware.
