About this opportunity
NASA Shared Services Center has issued a Special Notice for the procurement of Screw Extruders and Water Tampering equipment, with performance to be located at NASA Kennedy Space Center. The agency intends to award a sole source contract to Anton Paar USA under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), having determined that the Virginia-based company is the sole provider of this specialized equipment. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and will utilize commercial item acquisition procedures under FAR Parts 12 and 13. The opportunity was posted on July 16, 2025, with a response deadline of July 18, 2025 at 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time.
The procurement's primary objective is to replace an incorrectly fabricated barrel for an existing extruder with a new extruder featuring a hardened liner specifically designed for compounding regolith simulants. This equipment is critical for multiple terrestrial and space manufacturing projects, including the ReMADE project, and will be operated in the Granular Mechanics Regolith Operations Laboratory at Kennedy Space Center. Interested organizations may submit written capabilities and qualifications to the designated points of contact by the specified deadline, with such submissions evaluated solely to determine whether competitive procurement is warranted. The hardened liner component is essential for processing abrasive silicate materials like regolith, which can cause significant wear to extruder components, potentially reducing maintenance costs and extending operational lifetime. The government retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with full and open competition based on responses received.
