About this opportunity

NASA's Glenn Research Center is seeking critical repairs and refurbishment of the Central Process System equipment at its Lewis Field campus. The project involves six specific infrastructure replacement tasks, including demolition and replacement of start breakers, UPS systems, and various transmitters across multiple buildings. NASA intends to issue sole source contracts to acquire these services, with a focus on maintaining system continuity and preventing substantial cost duplication. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications electronically to Douglas Kustra via email by June 3, 2025, at 1 pm EST. The evaluation will be solely for determining whether to conduct the acquisition on a competitive basis, with the government retaining full discretion over the procurement approach.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for the contract. NASA plans to work directly with three contractors: VIP Electric, Meilke, and Siemens, who have already been performing aspects of the project and have procured or ordered long-lead materials. While no specific award value is mentioned, the project involves infrastructure replacements in buildings 64, 95, and 23, targeting equipment that is 50-70 years old. The work is expected to be completed in phases, with some components like transmitters to be delivered by June 2025 and other replacements scheduled between July 2025 and August 2026. The contract will be pursued under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2), which allows for non-competitive procurement under specific circumstances.

Notice text

1) Presolicitation Notice – Synopsis
a. Noncompetitive (All)

NASA/GRC has a requirement for the critical repairs and refurbishment of the Central Process System equipment located at the Glenn Research Center’s Lewis Field campus. The age and condition of the existing system dictates that infrastructure be repaired or replaced to promote safety, reliability and efficiency of operations for the Center.


The scope of this project is as follows:
1) Building 64 Phase 1 Start Breakers demolition and replacement.
2) Replace Desi Burner System in Building 95 demolition and replacement.
3) Central Air Dispatch Pressure Transmitter in Building 64 demolition and Replacement.
4) Central Air Dispatch Temperature Transmitter in Building 64 demolition and replacement.
5) Building 23 UPS Replacement demolition and replacement.
6) Building 64 UPS Replacement demolition and replacement.


NASA/GRC intends to issue sole source contracts to acquire the services from VIP Electric, Meilke, and Siemens.
These contractors have been successfully performing aspects of the project scope to date and have either already procured, are in possession of, or have placed orders for long lead materials and equipment in support of the remaining work.
Maintaining the original subcontractors would ensure project continuity within the critical system operation preventing a substantial duplication of cost for purchased material and equipment to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition under the authority of FAR 6.302-1(a)(2).


The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial product or commercial service using FAR Part 12.


Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to  Douglas Kustra at douglas.c.kustra@nasa.gov not later than 1 pm EST on June 3, 2025. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.


NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at : https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/Procurement-Ombuds-Comp-Advocate-Listing.pdf.
