Tektronix Oscilloscopes and Accessories

NASA Shared Services Center is soliciting quotations for Tektronix oscilloscopes and accessories through a brand name requirement that restricts the procurement to authorized Tektronix resellers only. The procurement includes two Tektronix MSO58B oscilloscopes with 350 MHz bandwidth and 8 channels, one TLP058 logic probe, one TP0030A current probe, and one THDP0200 differential voltage probe. The brand name justification cites critical compatibility issues with existing laboratory equipment, noting that switching manufacturers would require replacing expensive probes costing $3,000 to $8,000 each and cause significant testing delays of several months. NASA will evaluate quotations using the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) methodology. The deadline for quote submission is June 17, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. CT, with all correspondence required to reference Notice ID 80NSSC25905648Q.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing. No incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents, though the redacted brand name justification indicates this is a contract action over $25,000 requiring government-wide synopsis. The specific quantities include two oscilloscopes and three specialized probes, with delivery required within 8 weeks after receipt of order to NASA John H. Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Payment terms are net 30 days, and contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management with valid Cage Code and UEI numbers. While the total contract value is not disclosed in the redacted documents, the justification references expensive existing probe investments and the need to maintain laboratory compatibility.
