Sandstone Springs LLC

Sandstone Springs LLC is a self-certified small disadvantaged business located in Niagara Falls, New York, registered in SAM.gov since March 2018. The company specializes in digital data recovery and conversion services, with a particular focus on transforming legacy analog magnetic tapes into modern digital formats. While limited publicly available information exists about the company's broader background, its federal contract history demonstrates a niche expertise in preserving and digitizing scientific data from aging magnetic media.

The company has consistently provided tape recovery and digitization services primarily to NASA's Goddard Space Center, converting various analog tape formats including 7-track, 9-track, 3480, and 4mm tapes into digital files. These services support NASA's Earth science and satellite programs by recovering unique scientific data from historical magnetic media. Most of Sandstone Springs' federal contract awards have been Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call contracts with ceiling values ranging from approximately $8,957 to $60,411. Many of these contracts were initially set aside for small businesses, though some later awards did not maintain a specific set-aside designation. The company has worked exclusively as a prime contractor, with no identified subcontractors, focusing solely on tape recovery and conversion work for NASA Goddard.

Sandstone Springs LLC holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with NASA Goddard Space Center, valued at up to $300,000 and spanning from February 2024 to February 2029. This BPA covers magnetic tape data recovery services for the Goddard Earth Science Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC), with a comprehensive scope that includes transcribing tape data into binary files, handling degraded tape media, providing detailed inventory reporting, and securely disposing of original tapes. The contract aims to help NASA extend its earth science data record back to the 1960s by recovering scientific data from aging magnetic tape formats. Task orders under this BPA have consistently focused on converting analog tapes from various scientific programs, with individual task order values typically ranging between $10,000 and $60,000.
