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

AI Contract Overview

The National Institutes of Health, through the Liver Diseases Branch, is seeking an image-based automated cell counting system to replace manual microscopy-based white blood cell quantification in clinical research involving patients with liver disease. The system must provide dual-channel fluorescence and brightfield imaging to accurately differentiate between live and dead cells, distinguish white blood cells from red blood cells, and reduce inter-operator variability. It must process a minimum of eight samples per slide, analyze volumes as small as 10 microliters, and complete each count in under 60 seconds while allowing users to capture two, four, or eight images per sample. The instrument must support a broad range of sample types including mouse immune cells, human blood lymphocytes, bone marrow cells, and hepatocytes, and must be compatible with existing laboratory workflows through customizable, saveable, and retrievable experimental protocols. It must be compact, fitting within a 15-inch by 10-inch bench space, and fully compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 requirements including audit trails, user access controls, and electronic signatures. The system must come with a minimum 12-month manufacturer’s warranty. This procurement is issued under solicitation number 75N98026Q00775 as a presolicitation with no set-aside, classified under NAICS code 334516.

Full Description

Requirements:

The Liver Diseases Branch requires an automated cell counter to support ongoing clinical research studies involving immune cells obtained from patients with liver disease. These studies require the isolation and quantification of white blood cells for downstream research analyses.

Currently, white blood cells are counted manually using microscopy. To improve efficiency, increase counting throughput, enhance differentiation between white blood cells and red blood cells, distinguish live and dead cells, and reduce inter-operator variability, the laboratory requires an image-based automated cell counting system with dual-channel fluorescence and brightfield imaging capabilities.

The following product features and characteristics are required:

The system shall provide compatibility with existing laboratory workflows and support the use of customizable and saved experimental protocols for ongoing research studies.

The system shall be capable of processing a minimum of eight samples on a single slide.

The system shall complete cell counting in less than 60 seconds and provide the ability to capture two, four, or eight images per sample.

The system shall incorporate dual-channel fluorescence and brightfield imaging capabilities for cell counting and viability assessments.

The system shall support analysis of a wide range of sample types, including mouse immune cells, bone marrow cells, human blood lymphocytes, hepatocytes, and other primary cell populations.

The system shall be capable of analyzing sample volumes as small as 10 microliters.

The system shall allow users to customize, store, and retrieve commonly used experimental settings and analysis protocols.

The system shall be capable of supporting 21 CFR Part 11 compliance through available audit trail, user access control, and electronic signature functionality.

The system shall have a compact footprint suitable for placement on laboratory bench space approximately 15 inches deep and 10 inches wide.
The system shall include a minimum 12-month manufacturer's warranty.
