Universal Robotics UR30 Robot Workstation and Console

NASA Shared Services Center is soliciting quotes for a Universal Robotics UR30 Robot Workstation and Console, with questions due October 29, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Central Time and quotations due November 2, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Central Time. The procurement is a brand-name requirement with no set-aside, and the RFQ states full and open competition.

The brand-name designation is the primary constraint. The attached determination to solicit from one source or brand name justifies the UR30 on interoperability and platform consistency with robotic systems used by collaborating NASA research teams. It states that an alternative manufacturer would require redeveloped programs and safety configurations, requalified tooling, added training and spares, and additional schedule risk.

The RFQ, issued from Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, specifies award to the responsible offeror with the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) quotation. Quotations that do not demonstrate the ability to meet all requirements satisfactorily will be rejected. The total firm-fixed-price amount is to be inserted upon award.

The SOW summary describes procurement and assembly of a collaborative robotic workstation: a UR30 PolyScope 5 cobot with Robotiq attachments, an APT Manufacturing CB600 mobile base kit, an Advantech TPC-B520 PC, an Antaira 10-port PoE switch, Saginaw Control and Engineering console components, and Schunk Intec pneumatic and structural components. Services include five days of applications engineering field work, five days of travel and per diem, and 20 hours of shop time for assembly. Performance is 30 days after receipt of order, with FOB Destination delivery. The SOW identifies Marshall Space Flight Center as the place of performance, while the notice lists the United States.

Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and submit proof of manufacturer pricing, confirmation of authorization to resell, CAGE/UEI, FOB Destination terms, delivery lead time, and two points of contact with names, phone numbers, and email addresses. Quotations go to Monica Wilson at monica.d.wilson@nasa.gov with RFQ 80NSSC27945558Q in the subject line. Credit card payment will not be accepted, and quotes remain valid for 30 days. The NAICS code is 333998 and the PSC is 7E20.
