About this opportunity
NASA's Shared Services Center issued a sole source special notice on July 29, 2026, for procurement of a Thermal Analysis Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) system and services, with written capability submissions due by 7:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on July 31, 2026. The notice identifies TA Instruments—Waters LLC as the sole source for a Discovery DSC Q2500 unit and ancillary equipment including a 4-port broadband router, RCS90 controller, gas dryer, TZERO press and dies kit, LN2 pump accessory, thermal installation, basic operational training, and a Loyalty Support Plan for ongoing maintenance. Performance occurs at NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia (MS 227), with 30 days after receipt of order for delivery. NASA's justification rests on TA Instruments being the only manufacturer capable of integrating seamlessly with existing laboratory infrastructure—including established hardware, software, calibration procedures, validated test methods, and historical datasets—without requiring extensive revalidation, recalibration, method redevelopment, and personnel retraining. The procurement will proceed under FAR Part 12 commercial item procedures. NASA solicits written capability statements from interested organizations to evaluate whether competitive procurement should be pursued instead of sole source award, reserving discretion to open competition based on responses. Only written submissions are accepted. Shanna L. Patterson (Shanna.L.Patterson@nasa.gov) is the procurement specialist point of contact. NAICS 334516 applies.
