Astromaterials Glovebox Systems - Design & Fabrication (A-BOX)
Solicitation # 80JSC026A-BOX
This notice, issued by NASA’s Johnson Space Center under solicitation number 80JSC026A-BOX, is a Request for Information (RFI) for the design, fabrication, testing, delivery, and installation of controlled-atmosphere glovebox systems to support the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Curation Facility. The systems are intended for handling lunar and planetary samples, including those from Artemis missions, and must operate in ambient, cold (−85 to −20 °C), and ultra-cold/cryogenic (< −85 °C) environments while maintaining inert atmosphere conditions. Technical requirements are aligned with the American Glovebox Society Guidelines AGS-G001-2007 (3rd Edition), and compliance with quality standards such as ISO9001, AS9100, and NQA-1 is mandatory. The RFI seeks industry input on feasibility, capabilities, and cost estimates, with no formal proposals required. Access to the technical library containing detailed requirements is granted through SAM.gov after completing a two-step verification process and submitting a formal request form to NASA, with all requestors responsible for U.S. export control compliance. The response deadline has been extended to August 5, 2026, at 4:00 PM Central Time. The RFI emphasizes small business participation and solicit feedback on realistic subcontracting goals, barriers to entry for small businesses, and strategies to enhance involvement such as modularizing scope or encouraging teaming arrangements. NASA is considering potential set-asides for Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, HUBZone, Veteran-Owned, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Women-Owned Small Businesses. Organizational conflicts of interest (OCI) are a significant concern due to the nature of prior involvement in astromaterials handling and related design work; respondents must disclose any potential OCI and propose mitigation strategies, though NASA’s review at this stage does not constitute formal approval or assurance. Responses must be submitted electronically via email to the designated contracting officer and contract specialist, formatted according to Attachment II—Capabilities Questions and Responses—which addresses small business utilization, OCI, technical capability, and business considerations. The place of performance is the ARES Curation Facility in Houston, Texas, and final delivery and installation will occur there. No contract value, pricing, or award criteria are provided, as this is purely an information-gathering phase to inform future procurement strategy. Any information submitted is treated as voluntarily provided under FOIA and will not be publicly

Solicitation FA226326Q0017 is a request for a five-year firm-fixed-price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with one optional extension year through September 30, 2032, for the procurement of Dual Axis Digital Autocollimators (DADA). These optical devices are used by Air Force Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratories (PMELs) for calibrating guidance systems, heads-up displays, and fixtures. The acquisition is conducted as a full and open competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with a best estimated quantity of 39 new commercial or COTS units over the contract term. The technical requirements specify a minimum range of +/- 500 arc-seconds, accuracy of +/- 0.5 arc-seconds, and repeatability of +/- 0.1 arc-seconds, with a required minimum three-year warranty. The award will be based on best value, where the technical factor is significantly more important than price. A mandatory pass/fail gate exists for the purchase description technical requirements; failure to meet these renders a proposal unacceptable. Offerors must submit a technical proposal and a proposal evaluation unit to AFMETCAL in Heath, Ohio, by the closing date of September 4, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT. All electronic submissions must be made via DoD SAFE. Production units are to be delivered FOB Destination to various Air Force bases and AFMETCAL locations, with invoicing processed electronically through the Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) system.

Solicitation Amendment 0001 - 10 July 2026



Question:


05 August 2026 is less than a month away. It seems like a hard deadline in the documents, but it's much sooner than we expected for this. Is there any chance to push it later by a month?



Answer:


The solicitation has been extended 30 days. Offers must be received no later than 04 September 2026 at 2:00 PM EDT. Please ensure to review and submit the required AMENDED documents when preparing your response.



Solicitation Amendment 0002 – 27 July 2026



Question:


3.1. User Interface: The DADA shall have an LCD Display with PC user interface controls.


Which is preferred: 1) Laptop; or, 2) 19” Rack Mount PC?



Answer:


3.1 – PC is only required if it is the LCD display. If so, ideally it is a laptop. But, for this paragraph, we need the display to have an output to communicate with a PC (if it isn’t the display already).



Question:


3.2.4 The DADA Shall come with a Right-Angle Target mirror in mount.
Can the user please describe how the mirror should be set up? Is there a sketch that shows what is meant, or can it be described again? It's not clear to us exactly what is required.



Answer:


3.2.4 – Mirror shall be such that it can have reference feet that are perpendicular to the mirror surface, thus it can be used to measure flatness of a surface with the autocollimator.
