The place of performance is located in Houston, TX 77058, which suggests these incubators will likely be used for NASA research or testing facilities. While specific award value is not disclosed, the technical specifications indicate the incubators are sophisticated environmental chambers with detailed temperature and humidity control capabilities. The Statement of Work provides comprehensive technical details for five incubator models, with the C-DW model specifically requiring a 3/4 HP condensing unit using R-448A refrigerant.
