Spare Hipace700 Turbopump for existing Cascade TEK SVO-10 thermal oven

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center issued a Special Notice on November 21, 2025, for the procurement of a spare Hipace700 turbopump for an existing Cascade TEK SVO-10 thermal oven. This is a sole source procurement requirement limited to authorized resellers only. The opportunity is classified under NAICS Code 333994 (Industrial Process Furnace and Oven Manufacturing) and PSC Code 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies). The requirement is for a Pfeiffer HiPace 700 turbopump specifically designed to interface with existing SVO-10T thermal vacuum ovens at NASA Langley Research Center's thermal vacuum test laboratory. NASA has determined that this specific equipment is uniquely configured for the existing thermal testing assets, and using alternative vendors would require costly interface evaluation and potentially cause significant downtime for critical testing operations.

Interested contractors must submit written capability statements and qualifications to Stephanie Graham at Stephanie.n.Graham@nasa.gov by 8 a.m. Central Standard Time on October 7, 2025, with a firm deadline of November 25, 2025, for proposal submission. Only authorized resellers of Sheldon Manufacturing, Inc. (which recently merged with Cascade TEK) are eligible to participate in this procurement. The contractor must identify interface requirements, source the pump and associated documentation, package the equipment safely, and deliver it to NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia by March 26, 2026, with a 12-week period of performance from award. Contractors are required to disclose any artificial intelligence technologies used during contract performance and comply with OMB guidelines for acquiring covered AI systems as defined in OMB Memorandum M-25-22. NASA will evaluate submissions solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis, with the final decision remaining at the government's discretion.
