Swagelok M200 Orbital Welding System

NASA Shared Services Center is soliciting quotations for a Swagelok M200 Orbital Welding System, a specialized piece of equipment designed for orbital tungsten gas arc welding of small-diameter fittings and lines in aerospace applications. The system will support NASA Glenn Research Center's Smart Sensing and Electronics System branch in fabricating semiconductor equipment, particularly for silicon carbide integrated circuits and sensors. The welding system must be new, feature a portable tabletop design, operate on 115 VAC 60Hz single-phase power, and include a power supply, weld head, fixture kit, work support, and appropriately sized electrode tips with an integrated mass flow controller for shield gas flow and automatic weld procedure generation capabilities. The government will evaluate quotations using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, awarding the contract to the responsible offeror submitting the lowest-priced quote that meets all technical requirements. Quotations are due by February 13, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Central Time, with written questions concerning the solicitation due no later than February 12, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. CT. Submissions must be directed to Kimberlynn Lancaster at Kimberlynn.m.lancaster@nasa.gov.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for small businesses, limiting competition to small business entities capable of providing the specified Swagelok M200 system through authorized dealers or original equipment manufacturers. The solicitation does not identify a specific incumbent contractor, and no award value or budget range is disclosed in the available documentation. Delivery will be made on an FOB Destination basis, with the contract structured under firm fixed pricing terms. All offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and complete required representations and certifications, including provisions regarding telecommunications equipment and covered telecommunications services. The welding system will be delivered to NASA Glenn Research Center in support of ongoing aerospace research and development operations.
