About this opportunity

NASA Shared Services Center is seeking approximately 2,000 L of high-purity xenon gas for electric propulsion testing at NASA Glenn Research Center. The solicitation requires xenon with a purity level of 99.999% or greater, with strict specifications for impurity levels across multiple constituents including oxygen, water, and carbon compounds. Each cylinder must be fitted with a CGA 580 valve fitting and maintain at least one year of DOT certification. The procurement will be evaluated using a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) basis, meaning vendors must meet all technical requirements while offering the most competitive pricing. Quotes are due by December 30, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. CT, with a required delivery date of December 31, 2024, to the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, OH.

This contract opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses and falls under the NAICS category of Industrial Gas Manufacturing (325120). Each cylinder will require a comprehensive certificate of analysis documenting xenon quantity and precise impurity measurements. The procurement includes shipping costs for both NASA and vendor-provided bottles, with payment terms set at Net 30 and FOB Destination. Vendors must submit material safety data sheets and ensure each cylinder meets the stringent purity and documentation requirements. The contract will be awarded to a responsible offeror whose quote fully conforms to the solicitation's detailed technical specifications, with a focus on maintaining the high-quality standards necessary for NASA's specialized electric propulsion testing needs.
