About this opportunity

NASA's Shared Services Center has issued a Special Notice for the procurement of Prototype Plates under Federal Contract Opportunity ID 9557ced64f4a4e9b86d8e0e6f58c2d94. The agency intends to award a sole source contract to X-MICROWAVE, LLC of Austin, Texas, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), having determined that X-MICROWAVE is the sole provider of the required prototype plates. This procurement falls under NAICS code 332999 for miscellaneous fabricated metal product manufacturing and will utilize commercial item acquisition procedures under FAR Parts 12 and 13. Performance will be conducted at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, with NASA/NSSC serving as the procuring center. The notice was posted on June 10, 2025, with a response deadline of June 12, 2025.

The procurement supports NASA's PRobe Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA), an Astrophysics Probe Explorer mission requiring specialized RF electronics components for a far-infrared telescope system operating with over 12,000 kinetic inductance detectors. Interested organizations must submit written capabilities and qualifications to the designated points of contact by 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on June 12, 2025, for evaluation to determine whether the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis rather than sole source. The government will evaluate submissions solely to assess the potential for full and open competition, though the final determination remains at the government's discretion. The required components include switches, stepped attenuators, amplifiers, equalizers, couplers, transmission lines, and associated accessories compatible with X-Microwave's rapid prototyping system, with work completion required by September 15, 2025. NASA has requested partial shipments in no more than three deliveries to expedite the prototyping and testing process for the candidate flight design.
