About this opportunity
NASA's Stennis Space Center has issued a Special Notice for the purchase of specialized ultrasonic cleaning tanks and related equipment from BlueWave Ultrasonics Inc. The opportunity, identified by the contract ID 8e39684ead0b4d93afc7409572714faa, involves acquiring four specific items: a mild alkaline ultrasonic clean tank, an acid rinse tank, a corrosion inhibitor rinse tank, and a dryer. These tanks must be compatible with a previously purchased BlueWave Ultrasonics Controller Model No. BW-6771-000. The agency intends to issue a sole source contract under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, citing the unique compatibility requirements of the equipment. The notice was posted on May 29, 2025, with a due date of June 9, 2025.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to determine whether the acquisition can be conducted on a competitive basis, though NASA currently plans to proceed with a sole source contract. Interested organizations are invited to submit their capabilities and qualifications electronically via email to Rachel Clayton and Stephen Penton by 5:00 PM Central Standard Time on June 9th, 2025. The opportunity is set aside for total small business participation and falls under the NAICS category 335999 for miscellaneous electrical equipment manufacturing. Contractors should note that the government retains sole discretion in determining whether to compete the acquisition on a full and open competition basis. The notice includes reference to NASA Clause 1852.215-84 regarding the Ombudsman, and provides a link to the Ombudsman contact information. Potential contractors are advised that this is a commercial product acquisition under FAR Part 12, and their submissions will be evaluated strictly for competitive assessment purposes.
