AI Contract Overview

NASA Johnson Space Center is seeking two modified MV130X solenoid valves and a development plan for modifications to the MFV400 Regulator to support testing at Glenn Research Center, with the hardware intended to address high-pressure bang-bang regulation challenges at 6000 psi and flow rates between 25 g/s and 120 g/s of gaseous helium. The contract is planned as a sole source acquisition under FAR 12.102(a), with MAROTTA CONTROLS INC identified as the exclusive provider due to its proprietary control over the technical data, specifications, drawings, and manufacturing processes for these items, making it legally and technically impossible for any other vendor to produce or support them. The MV130X valves must be modified with PTFE or equivalent MAPTIS A-rated materials in place of Vespel seals to withstand hypergolic exposure, and each valve must be accompanied by its as-run acceptance test data. The development plan for the MFV400 Regulator must address Recommendation #1 in NESC-TI-20-01535. Delivery of the two valves and associated documentation is required no later than October 30, 2026, while the development plan must be delivered by December 31, 2026, with all items to be shipped to Jennifer Gratz at NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The acquisition will be conducted under FAR Part 12 as a commercial product or service, and the NAICS code is 332912. NASA is soliciting vendor capabilities and qualifications through May 26, 2026, at 5:00 PM Central Standard Time via email to andrea.browne-1@nasa.gov solely to evaluate whether a competitive acquisition is feasible, though the agency retains full discretion to proceed without competition. The NASA clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, applies to this procurement, and additional procedural guidance is available through the posted Ombudsman directory.

Full Description

NASA/JSC has a requirement for a QTY of two (2) modified MV130X valves and a development plan for modifications to the MFV400 Regulator. 


NASA/JSC intends to issue a sole source contract to MAROTTA CONTROLS INC, 78 Boonton AVE Montville, New Jersey 07045 United States, under the authority of FAR 12.102(a). It has been determined that MAROTTA CONTROLS INC is the sole provider of MV130X valves and MFV400 Regulator. These items are needed for testing at Glenn Research Center.  Delays in procuring these items will impact Artemis mission needs.  The vendor, Marotta Controls, Inc. maintains exclusive control of the technical data, specifications, drawings, and manufacturing processes associated with this hardware. Because the vendor holds all rights to the proprietary design and data, no other supplier can legally or technically produce, modify, or support this hardware for NASA to assess.


The Government intends to acquire a commercial product or service using FAR Part 12.


The NAICS Code for this requirement is 332912.


Interested vendors are encouraged to submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to andrea.browne-1@nasa.gov not later than 5:00PM Central Standard Time on May 26, 2026. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this acquisition on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.


NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at: https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/Procurement-Ombuds-Comp-Advocate-Listing.pdf

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
