Astromaterials Glovebox Systems - Design & Fabrication (A-BOX)

Solicitation # 80JSC026A-BOX

This notice, issued by NASA’s Johnson Space Center under solicitation number 80JSC026A-BOX, is a Request for Information (RFI) for the design, fabrication, testing, delivery, and installation of controlled-atmosphere glovebox systems to support the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Curation Facility. The systems are intended for handling lunar and planetary samples, including those from Artemis missions, and must operate in ambient, cold (−85 to −20 °C), and ultra-cold/cryogenic (< −85 °C) environments while maintaining inert atmosphere conditions. Technical requirements are aligned with the American Glovebox Society Guidelines AGS-G001-2007 (3rd Edition), and compliance with quality standards such as ISO9001, AS9100, and NQA-1 is mandatory. The RFI seeks industry input on feasibility, capabilities, and cost estimates, with no formal proposals required. Access to the technical library containing detailed requirements is granted through SAM.gov after completing a two-step verification process and submitting a formal request form to NASA, with all requestors responsible for U.S. export control compliance. The response deadline has been extended to August 5, 2026, at 4:00 PM Central Time. The RFI emphasizes small business participation and solicit feedback on realistic subcontracting goals, barriers to entry for small businesses, and strategies to enhance involvement such as modularizing scope or encouraging teaming arrangements. NASA is considering potential set-asides for Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, HUBZone, Veteran-Owned, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Women-Owned Small Businesses. Organizational conflicts of interest (OCI) are a significant concern due to the nature of prior involvement in astromaterials handling and related design work; respondents must disclose any potential OCI and propose mitigation strategies, though NASA’s review at this stage does not constitute formal approval or assurance. Responses must be submitted electronically via email to the designated contracting officer and contract specialist, formatted according to Attachment II—Capabilities Questions and Responses—which addresses small business utilization, OCI, technical capability, and business considerations. The place of performance is the ARES Curation Facility in Houston, Texas, and final delivery and installation will occur there. No contract value, pricing, or award criteria are provided, as this is purely an information-gathering phase to inform future procurement strategy. Any information submitted is treated as voluntarily provided under FOIA and will not be publicly

All supplies must originate from the original equipment manufacturer to comply with Veterans Health Administration prohibitions against gray market items. The requirement is structured on a cost-per-reportable-test basis, ensuring uninterrupted diagnostic capacity. Market research confirmed no alternative sources exist that can fully meet the technical and operational demands of the existing federal instrument platforms. While this is not a request for quotes, responsible sources may submit a capability statement by 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on May 22, 2026, to the designated Contracting Officer, Lindsay Goldsmith, at lindsay.goldsmith@va.gov; however, the government retains full discretion to proceed without competition regardless of submissions.
