Ceramic and Quartz Plasma Gun Tubes Supply

NASA is seeking suppliers to provide OEM-compatible ceramic and quartz tubes for use in its Tekna PN070 vacuum plasma spray system, requiring strict adherence to thermal, electrical, and dimensional criteria to ensure seamless integration and operational reliability. These components are critical to sustaining the high-performance conditions of the plasma spray process and must meet exacting industry standards for purity, structural integrity, and consistency under extreme temperatures. The opportunity is structured as a subcontract with a narrow response window closing on July 23, 2026, and is targeted toward vendors capable of delivering precision-engineered components aligned with NASA’s technical requirements. Performance of the work is designated for Hampton, Virginia, with the NAICS code 325998 indicating classification under Other Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing. The contract is administered through the NASA Shared Services Center under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and no set-aside provisions are specified, leaving the opportunity open to all qualified entities capable of meeting the technical demands.
