About this opportunity
NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC) is soliciting capability statements, due November 4, 2026, to determine whether a relocation of three SSERVI regolith simulant testbeds from Building 503 to Building 267A at NASA Ames Research Center will be competed. The posted Set Aside line reads "No Set-Aside Used," but the attached intent-to-award notice (Tab 07) states that NSSC intends to award a sole-source contract to McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. under FAR 12.102(a) as a commercial acquisition under FAR Part 12, NAICS 236220. Capability statements are the means to challenge that determination, and NSSC will evaluate them solely to decide whether to proceed competitively, with the final decision at Government discretion. Statements must be received by 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on November 4, 2026. Quotes will not be reviewed, and oral communications are not acceptable. The attached statement of work (Tab 04) requires the contractor to relocate the Highlands Testbed (about 22 tons of LHS-2E anorthosite), the Lowlands Testbed (about 8 tons of JSC-1A basaltic simulant), and the Deep Testbed (about 12 tons of anorthosite). The Highlands and Lowlands testbeds require new construction before material transfer, and the Deep Testbed frame and platform must move intact. The contractor must also prepare a site-specific safety plan compliant with Fed-OSHA and NASA Ames requirements and coordinate with SSERVI and the NASA Ames Office of Protective Services. Points of contact are Cara Craft (cara.s.craft@nasa.gov) and Will Garrett (Will.c.garrett@nasa.gov). NASA FAR Supplement clause 1852.215-84 (Ombudsman) applies.
