Service Maintenance for 250-Ton Hydra-Set.

NASA's National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center is seeking service maintenance for a 250-ton Hydra-Set hydraulic lifting system, specifically comprehensive testing and calibration services for one Model DHS-250R System. The contractor must complete functional testing, proof-load testing, and calibration work within six weeks of equipment arrival at the contractor's facility, with performance ultimately occurring at NASA Kennedy Space Center. Key contract requirements include static structural proof testing at 200% load capacity (1,000,000 lbs.), static hydraulic system proof testing at 125% load capacity (625,000 lbs.), and a 10-point calibration ensuring accuracy within 0.5% of full load scale, along with functional hoisting and rotation testing and a one-hour hang test at 250,000 lbs. The government will evaluate submissions solely to determine whether to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis or proceed as a sole source award, with the final decision resting exclusively with the government. Interested organizations must submit written capability statements by 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on April 30, 2026, with all correspondence referencing ID 80NSSC26931285Q; oral communications are not acceptable and no price offers will be reviewed at this time.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside. The notice indicates that Del Mar Avionics is the anticipated sole source contractor under FAR 12.102(a) authority, though the government reserves the right to compete the requirement if sufficient alternative capabilities are demonstrated. The contract will be conducted using commercial item provisions, clauses, and procedures under FAR Part 12, with the NAICS code assigned as 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC code J059 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment - Electrical and Electronic Equipment Components).
