About this opportunity
NASA's Shared Services Center issued a sole-source justification notice on August 12, 2026, for surface micromachining of single crystal silicon carbide sensors, with a response deadline of August 17, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. The agency intends to award a commercial item contract to Numed Technologies under FAR 12.102(a), determining that Numed is the sole provider of this capability. NASA Glenn Research Center will be the performance location.
The work involves fabricating silicon carbide pressure and temperature sensors on 4-inch diameter, 350-micron thick single crystal 4H-SiC wafers through 19 distinct surface micromachining process steps, including metallization, silicon dioxide deposition, and wet and dry etching. Final delivery is required within 20 weeks of purchase order receipt. The NAICS code is 334413 (Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing); PSC code is AK14.
Interested organizations may submit written capabilities and qualifications statements to determine whether the government will conduct this procurement on a competitive basis instead. The government reserves the right to compete the effort based on responses received. Oral communications are not acceptable. Submissions should be directed to Kacey.l.hickman@nasa.gov. NASA FAR Supplement Clause 1852.215-84 (Ombudsman) applies; the Center Ombudsman contact is available at the NASA procurement website.
