Schneider Electric Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Automation Hardware

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NASA SSC) is seeking to procure Schneider Electric Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Automation Hardware for the NASA Glenn Research Center. The solicitation is a brand name requirement for specific Modicon PLC components, including backplane extender kits, racks, power supply modules, discrete input and output modules, and terminal strips. To be eligible, vendors must be Authorized/Certified through the Schneider Electric Alliance Industrial Automation Distributor (IAD) program, with non-certified vendors' quotes being automatically rejected. The procurement will be evaluated on a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) basis, requiring vendors to demonstrate compliance with all solicitation requirements. Quotes are due by June 6, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. CT, and should be submitted to Laura Quave via email, referencing Notice ID 80NSSC25901645Q-R1 in the subject line.

This is a full and open competition with no specific set-aside designations. The total procurement includes multiple PLC components, such as 2 backplane extender kits, 2 ethernet backplane racks, 2 power supply modules, 11 discrete input modules, 17 caged terminal strips, and various other digital input and output modules. The place of performance is within the United States, specifically at the NASA Glenn Research Center. Vendors are required to provide on-site support for a minimum of 2 hours and will be granted temporary, limited access to the test facility for commissioning new controllers. The expected delivery timeline is 7-10 business days after receipt of order (ARO), ensuring rapid procurement and implementation of the required PLC automation hardware.
