Certificate of Analysis & Gas Purity Testing

This contract involves independent laboratory testing services focused on assessing the purity of xenon gas, specifically measuring impurity levels of oxygen and water vapor at thresholds of 0.1 parts per million or less. The contractor is responsible for producing Certificates of Analysis that include these measurements along with their associated uncertainties. The work is set to be performed in Cleveland and is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under the SBA guidelines, aligning with the NAICS code 541380 for testing laboratories. Issued by the NASA Shared Services Center, the subcontract solicitation was posted in early June 2026 with a response deadline shortly thereafter. The purpose of this contract is to ensure high-precision analytical verification of xenon gas purity, which is critical for aerospace and scientific applications. This contract underscores NASA’s commitment to rigorous quality assurance through specialized testing managed by qualified small business entities.
