AI Contract Overview
NASA’s Office of Protective Services at the Glenn Research Center is procuring ten HK MR556A4 rifles, specifically scoped and configured for operational use, under a sole-source acquisition justified by the unique capabilities and established interoperability of this platform with existing NASA protective services infrastructure. The procurement, identified by solicitation number 80NSSC26938178Q and posted on July 22, 2026, with responses due by July 28, 2026, is being conducted through the NASA Shared Services Center located at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. The acquisition is non-competitive due to the exclusive suitability of the HK MR556A4 rifle and the specialized support provided by PAI Defense, the sole authorized vendor with proven familiarity with NASA’s armorer systems, training curricula, and logistics protocols. The total estimated contract value is $41,827.60, and delivery must be completed no later than September 30, 2026, with performance and acceptance occurring at Stennis Space Center. Evaluation priorities emphasize operational reliability under extreme conditions, compatibility with existing NASA equipment, standardization across multiple centers, and superior performance characteristics, with cost not serving as a primary selection factor. The rifles must be delivered with immediate operational readiness, accompanied by a lifetime barrel warranty, and must comply with federal standards for defense-grade equipment, including secure, climate-controlled, and tamper-evident packaging with traceable labeling and barcoding consistent with federal asset tracking requirements. No formal clause list, Section K certifications, or SME identification for the offeror are provided, and while no specific MIL-STD or funding account codes are articulated, the procurement is supported by a formal brand-name justification and operates under a trade-off evaluation framework prioritizing mission readiness over pricing. The contracting office may be contacted through Sara Jusino-Terry or Karen Artis, and the program manager for operational oversight is Eric J. Combs, associated with the GRC Office of Protective Services.
