TE Connectivity Pressure Scanners and One Interface Rack

NASA's Shared Services Center has issued a Special Notice for a sole source procurement of five TE Connectivity Pressure Scanners and one Interface Rack to expand their existing Netscanner pressure measurement system. The agency intends to award the contract to MEASUREMENT SPECIALTIES INC in Hampton, Virginia, under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), having determined they are the sole provider of these specialized components. The procurement will be conducted under NAICS Code 334519 for Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing, with performance to be located at NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The acquisition will utilize commercial item provisions and procedures from FAR Parts 12 and 13, with NASA's Shared Services Center serving as the procuring center.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide market research and determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis rather than sole source. Interested organizations must submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing to Laura Quave at laura.a.quave@nasa.gov by 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on July 22, 2025, with oral communications not acceptable. The government will evaluate submissions solely to determine whether competition is feasible, though the final decision to remain with sole source procurement is at the government's discretion. The specific equipment includes a TE Connectivity 98RK-1 Scanner Interface Rack and five TE Connectivity MEAS Netscanner 9916 Pressure Scanners, with a required performance period of 20 weeks after receipt of order. Organizations responding must demonstrate their ability to provide equivalent pressure measurement system components compatible with NASA's existing infrastructure.
