About this opportunity
NASA's Shared Services Center seeks purchase of FTIR and UV-Vis/NIR microscopes for the ICEE facility at NASA Ames Research Center, with a response deadline of June 30, 2026. This procurement is issued as a sole source to Jasco Incorporated under FAR 12.102(a), and the Government invites capability statements solely to evaluate whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis; oral communications are not acceptable.
Place of performance is NASA Ames Research Center. The FTIR microscope shall deliver mid-IR spectral range of 7800–350 cm⁻¹ (expandable to 25,000–10 cm⁻¹), spectral resolution of 0.07 cm⁻¹ or better, signal-to-noise ratio of at least 55,000:1, sealed and desiccated aluminum Michelson interferometer with KBr beamsplitter, automated XYZ stage (100mm × 75mm × 30mm), research-grade LN₂-cooled MCT detector, 16x Cassegrain objective, automatic 4-position objective revolver, diamond ATR capability, IQ mapping functionality, and high-resolution CCD camera. The UV/Vis-NIR microspectrophotometer shall provide spectral range of 200nm–1.6μm with integrated dual-beam, dual-grating monochromator system, PMT and InGaAs detectors, 10x and 16x Cassegrain objectives, automated XYZ stage (76×52mm working range), and minimum spatial resolution of 16 microns. The acquisition includes a sample holder frame enabling accurate repositioning between all three microscopes, update frame for the existing JASCO Raman microscope, Dell Pro Slim Desktop with 3-year ProSupport, two 24-inch monitors, installation and training by factory-trained service engineers, and reference standards. Period of performance extends from award through November 1, 2026, with an estimated cost of $286,581.75. Market research identified JASCO as the sole viable source due to its exclusive capability to integrate Raman, FTIR, and UV-Vis-NIR techniques with accurate sample repositioning via the iQ frame system. NAICS code is 334516; PSC is 6695.
