About this opportunity

NASA's National Shared Services Center (NSSC) has issued a Special Notice for the procurement of a Superior WH74 Sloan Watchman lubricator system for the NASA Langley Research Center. This is a total small business set-aside opportunity under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). The Notice indicates NASA's intent to issue a sole source contract to Sloan Lubrication Systems for this specialized equipment. The current lubricator system at the WH74 Superior Compressor has a design flaw causing frequent maintenance issues, excessive downtime, and component failures. The procurement includes the lubricator system, onsite installation, mobilization, and packaging with an 8-week performance period.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to determine whether competitive procurement is feasible, as NASA has initially identified Sloan Lubrication Systems as the sole provider under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i). Interested organizations must submit written capability statements and qualifications by 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on August 21, 2025. The government will evaluate these submissions solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement competitively, with the final decision remaining at NASA's discretion. Oral communications are not acceptable for this process. The system being procured is a sophisticated lubrication system designed for a WH74 Compressor operating at 600 RPM, featuring a 15-gallon tank, divider assemblies, monitoring equipment, and specialized fittings. Performance will occur at the NASA Langley Research Center Compressor Station.
