TechCut 5x Precision High Speed Saw

NASA's Shared Services Center is seeking to procure a TechCut 5x precision high-speed saw for Space Nuclear Propulsion Materials Development at Marshall Space Flight Center. The specialized cutoff saw must meet specific technical requirements including an internal reservoir, variable blade speed of 500-5000 rpm, manual and motorized positioning capabilities, and specialized sample fixtures such as a T-slot table and stainless steel vise. NASA intends to issue this as a sole source contract to Allied High Tech Products, Inc. of Cerritos, California, citing them as the sole provider of this equipment for space nuclear propulsion materials development. Interested organizations may submit written capabilities and qualifications to demonstrate their ability to perform this work, which will be evaluated solely to determine whether to conduct the procurement on a competitive basis rather than sole source. The deadline for submitting capabilities statements is 8:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on July 24, 2025, with oral communications not being acceptable.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is structured under FAR Part 12 and 13 provisions for commercial items and services. Allied High Tech Products, Inc., located at 16207 Carmenita Road in Cerritos, California, has been identified as the incumbent sole source provider for this specialized equipment. The system will be delivered to MSFC building 4602 and installed in either room 1170 or 1154, with performance taking place at Marshall Space Flight Center. The estimated lead time for delivery and installation is 4-10 weeks after contract award. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334519 for Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing and PSC code 6640 for Laboratory Equipment and Supplies. The equipment will support NASA's research into shielding materials and advanced aerospace propulsion system components for space nuclear propulsion applications.
