Design and Manufacture of Closed Cycle Cryostat System

A closed cycle cryostat system is to be fully designed, engineered, and fabricated as a commercial item to meet or exceed the performance standards of a specified reference system, with delivery of a fully functional, compliant unit intended for NASA operations. The contractor must ensure all aspects of the system—from conceptual design through final fabrication—demonstrate reliability, precision, and operational readiness under space mission conditions, with no deviations from the required technical specifications. The deliverable is not a prototype or experimental device but a production-ready system validated for immediate use in NASA’s scientific or exploratory missions. This contract is a Small Business Set-Aside under the SBA program, with the NAICS code 333415 indicating classification in the manufacture of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment, emphasizing the expectation for a specialized manufacturing capability. The opportunity was posted on July 21, 2026, with responses due by July 28, 2026, and is administered by the NASA Shared Services Center under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. All work is expected to be performed in alignment with federal procurement regulations, and the system must comply with applicable NASA standards for safety, performance, and integration into their operational environment.
