Purchase of TOOLING FOR MITSUBISHI MD+PRO II WIRE EDM

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center seeks purchase of System 3R tooling for a Mitsubishi MD+PRO II wire EDM machine, with quotes due July 9, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Central Time. The procurement is a total small business set-aside and carries a brand name justification limiting competition to System 3R vendors; the justification cites compatibility requirements with existing System 3R infrastructure already integrated into the operational wire EDM system at NASA Ames Research Center, and notes that alternative brands would result in incompatibility, duplicate tooling purchases, funding waste, and schedule impacts to research and mission-critical projects.

Place of performance is NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California. Required tooling components, all System 3R manufactured, include two Reference Elements (298 mm/M8-50), one 3Ruler (365 x 45 x 30 with clamps and Z-Line supports), one User Kit for WEDM, one Super Vice (0-150 mm Magnum), one WEDM Presetting Station (12 x 8 x 4), one Manual Lathe Chuck (Macro), and one 3R Taper Hardinge 5C Macro Adapter (T7535). All tooling must be new, defect-free, fully compatible with existing System 3R infrastructure, and delivered complete and fully assembled. Period of performance is 30 days or less from Award and Requisition Order. The NAICS code is 333515 (Cutting Tool and Machine Tool Accessory Manufacturing); PSC is 1680 (Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components). Evaluation uses lowest price technically acceptable methodology. Offerors must register at sam.gov, submit quotes via email to Kacey Hickman (Kacey.l.hickman@nasa.gov), and provide two points of contact with each quote. Technical questions are due July 8, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Central Time via email only.
