CVI helium Compressor and Drive Head Rebuilds

This contract is a sole source procurement issued by the NASA Shared Services Center under FAR 12.102(a) for the rebuilding of three CVI CBST 6.0 water-cooled helium compressors and one CVI CGR-511 drive head, exclusively by PHPK Technologies, now operating as KENDALL HOLDINGS LTD. The work must be performed at the contractor’s facility in Cleveland, Ohio, utilizing only qualified PHPK technicians due to the proprietary nature of the equipment, which includes exclusive access to design specifications, specialized tooling, and warranty authorization. No competitive evaluation process applies; award is based solely on the contractor’s unique capability to perform the rebuild while maintaining original manufacturer warranties. The scope includes comprehensive component replacement such as bearings, seals, motors, control panels for pre-2000 units, adsorbers, and tubing, followed by decontamination, leak testing, and performance verification to meet factory standards. The estimated performance period is six to eight weeks following contract award, with final acceptance to occur at a NASA facility, likely NASA Glenn Research Center or Stennis Space Center. All packaging, marking, and barcoding requirements are omitted, as the procurement operates under commercial item provisions (FAR Part 12), deferring to vendor-specific practices. The contract does not include line-item pricing, estimated value, payment details, or contract administration data beyond the primary point of contact, Shanna L. Patterson of NASA Shared Services Center in Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. No formal evaluation factors, weights, risk ratings, or socioeconomic certifications are applicable, nor are any MIL-STD packaging standards or security clearance requirements invoked. Submission of proposals is limited to a written response via email to the designated point of contact by June 30, 2026, with no required format, page limits, or multi-volume structure.
