Setra SPC7000 Series

NASA Shared Services Center is procuring two Setra SPC7000 Series Remote Airborne Particle Counters (Part Number SPC73016SDPBHTS) through a brand name requirement solicitation. The procurement specifically requires this exact equipment model for use at NASA Glenn Research Center's cleanrooms, where personnel are already trained on setup, operation, calibration, and troubleshooting of these particle counters. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and include their CAGE/UEI code, FOB destination, lead time for delivery, and point of contact information in their submissions. The contract will be evaluated using a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) method, with offerors required to demonstrate they can meet all solicitation requirements to be considered technically acceptable. Quotes are due by June 27, 2025 at 7 a.m. CT via email to Shanna Patterson, and vendors must reference tracking number 80NSSC25907402Q in their email subject line.

This procurement is set aside for small businesses under the Total Small Business designation, with no incumbent contractors identified in the documentation. The performance period is specified as 2 weeks after receipt of order (ARO), reflecting the urgency of the requirement for maintaining cleanroom contamination control protocols. The work will be performed at NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, where the particle counters are critical for monitoring cleanroom environments used in spaceflight hardware assembly. The procurement represents a firm-fixed-price commercial item contract with accelerated payments provided to small business subcontractors, though specific award values are not disclosed in the available documentation. The brand name justification emphasizes that these particle counters are essential for protecting high-value mission-critical equipment and that alternative brands could introduce increased complexity and risk to contamination control protocols.
