NASA is soliciting a single Ventrac tractor, Model #4520P equipped with a Kawasaki FD851D engine, for use in simulating lunar surface conditions at the CRATERS facility in Houston, Texas. The procurement is proceeding as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 12.102(a) for a commercial item, with no set-aside or socioeconomic preferences applicable. The tractor must be capable of operating on slopes up to 30 degrees and will be accompanied by three specialized hydraulic implements: a power rake with over 70 carbide tips, a landscape rake with adjustable height and angle, and a front loader with a half-cubic-yard bucket and 400-pound capacity. Required accessories include a dual-wheel kit, three auxiliary hydraulic circuits, counterbalance weights, a brush guard, an enclosed operator canopy with a fan, and a suspension seat. All equipment must be delivered fully assembled and operational within 15 days of order placement, with a hard deadline of July 15, 2026, to meet Artemis program testing timelines. The contractor is also required to provide four on-site maintenance visits, comprehensive operator training, and ongoing technical support, backed by a two-year warranty on the tractor and implements and a three-year warranty on the engine. Delivery and performance are to occur at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, with inspection and acceptance handled jointly by the contractor and the Contracting Officer’s Representative, Cara Craft, based at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. No formal pricing structure, CLINs, or contract value are included in the solicitation, indicating it is in the pre-award sources-sought phase. Packaging, preservation, and labeling requirements are not detailed beyond the requirement for English-language manuals and documentation. The acquisition follows commercial item practices under FAR Part 12, with NASA-specific supplemental clauses applied, and excludes any military standards, barcoding, or formal evaluation factors. Proposals must be submitted via email to the designated point of contact by June 8, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Central Time.
