Spare parts for CCF (Converter Compressor Facility) Project

NASA Shared Services Center is soliciting quotes for critical spare parts to support the Converter Compressor Facility (CCF) Project at Kennedy Space Center, specifically for modifications to facility K7-0468 that will implement new helium and nitrogen systems with a six liquid helium pump system to enhance Artemis II launch support reliability. The procurement requires brand-specific components from two manufacturers: Anderson Greenwood and Crosby, including various pressure relief valves with set pressures ranging from 50 to 6500 PSIG and different seat materials such as Teflon, Vespel, and PCTFE. These spare parts must be like-for-like replacements without additional design engineering to ensure compatibility and support real-time operations for spaceport users' launch and test activities. The government will award the contract using the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation criteria to the responsible offeror that meets all solicitation requirements. Quotes are due by August 12, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. CT, and must be submitted electronically to the designated contracting officer, with quotes remaining valid for 30 days after submission.

This solicitation is set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 332919 (Other Metal Valve and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing), requiring offerors to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and complete various representations regarding business size, veteran status, and regulatory compliance. The procurement includes a total of nine different part types with quantities ranging from 1 to 16 units per part type, encompassing seven items from Anderson Greenwood and two items from Crosby, with a planned delivery date of November 1, 2025. The parts will be shipped to the NASA Kennedy Space Center BOSS Warehouse to support the ongoing CCF modifications that are critical for Artemis II launch preparations. Performance will take place at Kennedy Space Center, where the spare parts will support high-pressure and low-pressure gaseous helium delivery systems essential for operational readiness. The brand name justification emphasizes the critical nature of these components for live support operations, where compatibility concerns with replacement parts could impact mission-critical spaceport activities.
