The contract seeks the delivery of three high-precision aluminum off-axis parabola mirrors—Transmitter Mirror 3, Transmitter Mirror 4, and Transmitter Mirror Collimator—for a lunar lidar prototype under a small business set-aside designated as Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5. The requirement is firm fixed price with evaluation based on the lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) method, where technical acceptability is assessed first through strict optical and mechanical criteria, including surface roughness no greater than 40 Å RMS, reflectance of at least 95% across 1520–1580 nm with enhanced gold coating, scratch/dig tolerances of 40/20 on optical surfaces, and compliance with NASA GSFC specifications and drawings. All items must be fabricated from RSA-6061 aluminum, feature black anodized non-optical surfaces, and be delivered in two units per mirror type within a 20-week period following issuance of a delivery order. Performance is to conclude at NASA GSFC in Greenbelt, Maryland, with FOB Destination terms establishing the government as the acceptance point. The contract incorporates critical compliance clauses for export controls under ITAR and EAR, requiring contractor adherence to licensing protocols and flow-down obligations to subcontractors. Duty-free entry for imported materials is permitted with proper documentation, and government property rules, SAM registration and maintenance, and sustainable procurement standards are enforced. The solicitation mandates submission of quotes via email to Laura Quave by May 19, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Central Time, with all correspondence referencing Notice ID 80NSSC26931778Q. Offerors must provide their UEI and CAGE code, confirm small business status, and be registered in System for Award Management, with noncompliance resulting in disqualification. An ombudsman is designated for dispute resolution, and accelerated payments to small business subcontractors are required.
