Precision Filters Signal Conditioning Chassis

This Special Notice, posted on February 12, 2026, announces a sole source procurement for Precision Filters Signal Conditioning Chassis by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center. The notice declares that Precision Filters Inc., located in Ithaca, New York, has been determined to be the sole provider of this equipment under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) authority. The procurement is for commercial items and services and will be conducted under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures. Performance will take place at NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. This is a presolicitation notice inviting interested organizations to submit written capabilities and qualifications to demonstrate their suitability for potential competitive consideration.

The underlying purpose of this procurement is to acquire specialized signal conditioning hardware currently in use throughout NASA Glenn's turbomachinery facilities within the Engineering Research Building, with an estimated delivery period of 60-90 days after order receipt. The primary deadline for submission is February 17, 2026, at 7 a.m. Central Standard Time, with submissions directed to Procurement Specialist Shanna Patterson via email at Shanna.l.Patterson@nasa.gov. Only written submissions will be accepted; oral communications are not permitted. The government justifies sole source procurement based on standardization requirements, personnel training investments specific to this equipment, operational efficiency needs, and the substantial costs and risks associated with transitioning to alternative vendors. The specific hardware configuration includes a 16-slot chassis, power supply, backplane interface module with Ethernet and Windows-based software, and sixteen strain conditioner modules with advanced measurement capabilities. While this is currently a sole source acquisition, interested parties may submit capabilities statements to be evaluated for potential competitive procurement consideration at the government's discretion.
