About this opportunity

NASA's Shared Services Center issued a sole-source justification on May 28, 2026, for a design study of the PSL 40k Thrust Stand Refurbishment at Glenn Research Center, with a response deadline of June 2, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. The agency intends to award a commercial services contract under FAR 12.102(a) to Force Measurement Systems, Inc., 4701 E Hunter Avenue, Anaheim, California, which NASA has determined is the sole provider capable of performing this effort. Interested organizations may submit written capabilities and qualifications to challenge the sole-source determination; the government will evaluate responses solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis, though a decision to remain non-competitive is solely within government discretion. The design study will assess repair and modification requirements for the 40k thrust stand following extended use in a harsh environment, informed by the vendor's recent completion of a similar 50k thrust stand refurbishment. The statement of work requires three separately quoted engineering options, ranging from baseline repairs and reassembly to comprehensive replacement of mechanical and hydraulic components with software modifications. Performance runs from July 1 through October 23, 2026, contingent on NASA's approval of the purchase request. NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services); PSC R499.
