Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) ProjectNASA's Goddard Space Flight Center seeks to acquire several models of the CIMEL CE318-T family of Sun-Sky-Lunar Spectral Photometers, along with essential parts for repair, maintenance, and upgrades of photometers, tracking robots, and advanced control boxes. These instruments are critical for monitoring aerosol optical properties and support NASA's global climate change and satellite validation initiatives. The acquisition will take place under a sole-source, Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with CIMEL ELECTRONIQUE, the sole provider capable of meeting the AERONET program's specific requirements. The contract will span five years, reflecting the unique status of these photometers as the standardized instrumentation in the Aerosol Robotic Network, which has been operational for over three decades. The procurement adheres to FAR Part 12 for the acquisition of commercial products or services, justified under 10 U.S.C 3204(a)(1) due to the absence of alternative sources capable of meeting NASA's technical and scheduling needs. While this is a sources-sought notice, responses from interested parties will only influence whether NASA proceeds with a competitive acquisition. The solicitation is managed by NASA Goddard’s Contracting Specialist, with capabilities and qualifications due by June 23, 2026. This effort supports NASA's commitment to maintaining a consistent, long-term aerosol data set, critical for climate research and satellite validation, with no viable substitute vendors available.

Nitrogen and Dry-Air Generator for LC-MS ApplicationsThe Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC) is seeking quotes for a firm fixed-price contract to procure one LNI Swissgas NGA CASTORE XL 40.40 Membrane Nitrogen Generator to support laboratory analytical testing at Naval Medical Research Unit Dayton. This equipment is essential for delivering a continuous, high-purity nitrogen gas stream required by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) instruments. The generator must meet specific technical criteria, including a minimum nitrogen output of 40 L/min at up to 99.9% purity, dry-air output of 40 L/min, and pressures suitable for either 220–240 VAC or universal 115–240 VAC configurations. It must operate quietly (≤50 dB), have a compact footprint, and feature integrated controls with remote monitoring capabilities. The system includes an oil-less compressor and must be fully self-contained without the need for facility compressed air. The procurement follows an unrestricted Request for Quote (RFQ) under NAICS code 334516, open to all responsible vendors registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a Cage Code and Unique Entity Identification Number. The contract will be awarded based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable offer. The generator includes a 15-month limited warranty valid in the contiguous US and Canada, provided by the manufacturer. The place of performance is Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, and responses are due by June 20, 2026. Points of contact for this procurement include representatives from the Naval Medical Research Center and the Air Force.

Full Description

The objective of the NRC is to acquire a high-resolution Sputter Coater to support operations of Scanning Electron Microscopy facility of Construction Research Center. This equipment will augment the ability to image non-conductive materials and improve the functionality of the Electron Microscopy facility. Construction Research Centre of National Research Council of Canada (NRC) has high resolution cold field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The high variety of samples are being imaged with our FE-SEM, ranging from various construction materials (e.g., cement, concrete, steel, polymers) to various emerging nanomaterials. Imaging is often required to be performed at magnifications of over one hundred thousand. Scanning Electron Microscopy of non-conductive samples (such as polymers and concrete) is very challenging due to sample charging. Surface coating of nonconductive samples with a thin conductive layer can greatly facilitate the process and improve the imaging results. Conventional sputter coaters provide coarse coating which can obscure actual surface morphology, hence rendering them non satisfactory for our applications. The National Research Council requires a high-vacuum Sputter Coater which can be used with an Iridium metal target and provide extremely fine grain coating, thus granting the ability to perform high resolution microscopy.
