GelSight GS Mobile System Purchase

NASA/NSSC is seeking to acquire the GelSight GS Mobile System through a sole source contract awarded to GELSIGHT, INC. under FAR 12.102(a), as it is the only provider of this specialized commercial item. The procurement is designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5 and falls under NAICS Code 334519. Performance will occur at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, with delivery required by July 31, 2026. The acquisition follows FAR Part 12 procedures for commercial items, which means standard military packaging, marking, and inspection standards do not apply, and commercial practices are expected. The system includes the GelSight Max Device, calibration and cleaning kits, a Pelican Hard Case, a Surface Pro Tablet with rugged case, a perpetual Pro Software License with one-year upgrades, and a 10-pack of MB005 TPU Gels. No pricing details are provided as this is a solicitation for capability statements, not a competitive bid process. Interested organizations may submit written capability statements by 1:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on April 28, 2026, to Monica Wilson at monica.d.wilson@nasa.gov; oral communications are prohibited. The evaluation of submissions is solely to determine whether competition is warranted, and the government retains full discretion in deciding whether to proceed as a sole source. NASA FAR Supplement Clause 1852.215-84 (Ombudsman) applies, providing a resource for offeror inquiries, but no other contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing, or special requirements such as security clearances, key personnel, or options are specified. The contracting office is located at Stennis Space Center, MS, but no contracting officer representative or formal payment details are identified in the documentation.
