Gold Plating and Surface Coating Services

The contract requires the electroplating of C-rings with a defect-free, uniform gold coating to ensure leak-tight performance under extreme environmental conditions for the NASA VMS instrument. The coating must meet stringent specifications to guarantee reliability in high-stress, high-temperature, or vacuum environments typical of space instrumentation, where even minor surface imperfections could compromise mission-critical function. The work is to be performed at a facility in Greenbelt, Maryland, with a zip code of 20771, and must be completed in alignment with NASA’s quality and performance standards. This is a subcontract under the NAICS code 332813, classified under the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The solicitation was posted on June 15, 2026, with a response deadline of June 17, 2026, at 12:00 PM, indicating a short turnaround window for qualification and proposal submission. Only qualified vendors with demonstrated expertise in precision electroplating for aerospace applications should respond, as the application demands flawless surface integrity and adherence to exacting technical parameters set by NASA’s mission requirements.
