About this opportunity

This Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Glenn Research Center is for the procurement of one X-ray diffractometer system with a Bruker Vantec-500 detector from Bruker AXS LLC. The justification cites the need for the Bruker detector's proprietary two-dimensional detection capabilities to perform advanced residual stress measurements on materials for research programs, as integrating it into other vendors' systems was deemed infeasible; additionally, market research found no other vendors able to meet the agency's large sample analysis needs. The sole source contract to Bruker AXS LLC for an unspecified amount was awarded on August 31, 2023 to fulfill this requirement.

Notice text

This procurement specification establishes the minimum requirements for an X-Ray Diffractometer System to be used at the Glenn Research Center (GRC) for materials characterization with a focus on advanced residual stress measurements based on 2D X-ray diffraction data.  The instrument will be used to acquire texture data from large samples. 

Awarded contract 80TECH23PA011 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2023-08-31.
