Purchase of an Industrial Acoustic Imager

NASA's Shared Services Center is soliciting quotes for the purchase of a Fluke FLK-II915 acoustic imager, a hand-held device designed to detect air leaks in the Transonic Dynamics Tunnel facility at NASA Langley Research Center. The acoustic imager must utilize a multi-microphone directional array to identify ultrasonic noise signatures from leaks and display them as an augmented reality overlay on a camera feed, with the capability to detect frequencies up to approximately 100 kHz and filter specific frequency ranges to eliminate background noise. The equipment must operate reliably across ambient conditions of 20-100 degrees Fahrenheit and 20-90 percent relative humidity while remaining self-contained without requiring external power sources or computer connections. Award will be made to the lowest-price technically acceptable offer from a responsible offeror whose quote demonstrates the ability to meet all solicitation requirements satisfactorily. The solicitation number is 80NSSC26926466Q, with quotes due by March 9, 2026, at 7:00 a.m. Central Time, and contractual or technical questions must be submitted in writing to the contracting officer by March 6, 2026, at 7:00 a.m. Central Time.

This procurement is set aside for total small business concerns, and all offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and submit quotes as authorized resellers only. The estimated delivery lead time is 1-2 weeks pending availability, and delivery is required FOB Destination to NASA Langley Research Center, Central Receiving Building 1206, 4 South Marvin Street, Hampton, Virginia 23681. Offerors must include in their bids the CAGE/UEI code, FOB destination terms, leadtime for delivery, and two points of contact with names and email addresses, and must reference the tracking number (80NSSC26926466Q) in the subject line of their quote submission email. The government will not accept credit card payments, and quotes remain valid for 30 days unless otherwise stated. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the procurement addresses a significant operational need, as the facility incurs approximately $10 per pound for 200,000 pounds of test gas used annually due to pressure losses from hundreds of potential leak sources.
