About this opportunity
NASA's Shared Services Center announced a sole source procurement for replacement parts for a Sciaky EB Welder (Model VX.4-108x78x100 W2020) at NASA Langley Research Center, with a capability statement deadline of August 27, 2026 at 7:00 a.m. Central Standard Time. The procurement is restricted to Sciaky Inc under FAR 12.102(a), though interested organizations may submit written capabilities to demonstrate whether the effort should be conducted competitively. The parts specification includes sixteen line items of original equipment manufacturer components—o-rings, ceramic insulators, high-voltage cables, cathodes, anodes, filaments, and associated items—totaling 48 units with delivery lead times ranging from three to ten weeks and an estimated completion date of December 15, 2026. The welder is the only electron beam equipment at any NASA center and is critical to Artemis III, IV, and V spacesuit fabrication. NASA determined that competition is impractical due to the equipment's age (25 years), limited production numbers, proprietary component designs, and prior evidence that alternative vendor parts delivered inferior performance and created schedule, cost, and quality risks to mission compliance. Responses should be directed to Procurement Specialist Shanna L. Patterson at Shanna.L.Patterson@nasa.gov; oral communications and quotes will not be accepted or evaluated.
