Closed Cycle Cryostat

The contract solicitation 80NSSC26933566Q is for the procurement of a Closed Cycle Cryostat under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, classified under NAICS code 333415 and administered by the NASA Shared Services Center at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. The requirement is structured as a commercial item acquisition under FAR 52.212-4 and priced on a firm-fixed-price basis with a deviation clause specifying the need to insert the contractual amount, though no stated dollar value is provided. Proposals must be submitted via email to McKenzie Hanson by July 28, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. Central Time, and offerors must be registered in SAM.gov with valid Unique Entity ID certification. The solicitation mandates compliance with a range of FAR and NASA FAR Supplement clauses including duty-free entry procedures, sustainable product requirements, DEI discrimination prohibitions, whistleblower rights notification, and export control obligations under ITAR and EAR. The performance location is Stennis Space Center, MS, with FOB Destination delivery terms indicating Government acceptance upon arrival. The contract requires contractor personnel to undergo personal identity verification, and all shipments must be clearly marked with “UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT” and the agency name, along with contract number, gross weight, and estimated value. While specific technical specifications, inspection criteria, or quality standards are not detailed in the provided text, technical acceptability will serve as the foundation for award, with evaluation based on either Best Value Trade-off or Lowest Price Technically Acceptable methods — though the selected approach is not confirmed. Special requirements include compliance with export licensing procedures, sensitive information security protocols, and adherence to ethical business conduct standards. No contract administration office, payment address, accounting codes, or invoicing system such as WAWF are explicitly identified, and no COR, COTR, or PCO is formally designated, with McKenzie Hanson serving as the primary point of contact for technical and contractual inquiries. The absence of detailed evaluation factors, packaging standards, barcoding requirements, or military specifications indicates a streamlined, commercially oriented procurement focused on compliance with federal regulatory frameworks and small business participation.
