About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking to acquire a micro-X-ray diffractometer (XRD) to support high-resolution mineralogical analysis of geological samples, including those from future planetary sample return missions. The key requirements are for an XRD system that can provide the highest resolution currently available for mineralogical analysis and the ability to analyze and quantify the mineralogy of small powder samples. Responses to the Request for Quotation (RFQ) are due by May 2, 2024, and the award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offer. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for award.
This procurement is not set aside and has no designation. The place of performance is Greenbelt, MD 20771, USA. No potential incumbents or current contractors are named, and there are no details provided about award values or budget ranges. The timeline for delivery is within 42 weeks after receipt of order.
Notice text
PLEASE SEE ATTACHED RFQ FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The X-ray Lab in the Planetary Environments Laboratory (code 699) at Goddard Space Flight Center is purchasing a micro-X-ray diffractometer (XRD) in order to take the facilities at NASA GSFC into the next generation of high-resolution mineralogical analysis of geological samples, including samples that contain clay minerals and poorly-ordered materials. In doing so, the X-ray lab will be suited with state-of-the-art laboratory equipment and software and positioned well to play a significant role in future planetary sample return missions, particularly Mars Sample Return (MSR). The goals for this instrument are to provide (i) the highest resolution currently available for mineralogical analysis (ii) the ability to analyze and quantify the mineralogy of a small mass of precious powder samples (e.g., <30 mg), and (iii) the unique capability of mapping rock samples for mineral spatial variability with a small spot size (i.e., ≤60 microns).
