Counterfeit Electronic Parts Inspection & Certification

The contract mandates independent inspection and certification of delivered electronic units to verify strict adherence to NASA Q-1B standards for preventing counterfeit electronic parts. This effort is critical to ensuring the integrity, safety, and reliability of components used in NASA missions, with all inspections conducted by qualified third-party entities meeting rigorous technical and procedural requirements. The work must be performed at the designated place of performance in Edwards, California, with all findings documented and certified in accordance with established NASA protocols. The solicitation is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541380, indicating it falls within the category of other scientific and technical consulting services. It was posted on July 21, 2026, and requires responses by July 23, 2026, at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time, making the window for submission extremely narrow. This procurement is managed by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, underscoring the mission-critical nature of the work and the high stakes involved in maintaining supply chain integrity. Compliance with Q-1B standards is non-negotiable, and failure to meet verification requirements will result in rejection of delivered units.
