Full Description

Show more
NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) has a requirement for a long lead replacement for a BEP type Heat Exchanger (HEX), specifically for the cold compander component at the LaRC B1241 LN2 Plant. Size: 22312 SB111 90/10 CuNi Tubes and CS Tubesheets (Strength Weld) to ASME Code. Sever corrosion (a known issue in LN2 plant cooling water systems) has seized the tube bundle to the shell. The corrosion affects the HEXs ability to adequately cool product. The project is needed because operating temperatures are at an alarm level (not to trip level). NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) intends to issue a sole source contract to API HEAT TRANSFER INC., 2777 Walden Ave, Buffalo, NY. The item is being acquired under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901 and in accordance with FAR 13.5 procedures. It has been determined that API is the most advantageous provider of this item. API is the original equipment supplier for the existing failed heat exchanger and presents the quickest economical path to ending the current work stoppage. It would take substantial duplication of resources and time for another source to provide the required item and this additional expense is not expected to be recovered through competition. Provision for this JOFOC is made under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). FAR Part 13.5 procedures are used under the statutory authority of 10 USC 2304(g)(4) which requires NASA to follow 41 U.S.C.1901(e). Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort electronically via email to Michael Devine at michael.p.devine@nasa.gov not later than Friday 28 FEB 2025 no later than 4:30pm EST. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not 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

Solicitation # 80LARC27R0003
Solicitation 80LARC27R0003 is a competitive small business set-aside for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide Evaluations, Assessments, and Support Services (EASS) for the Science Office for Mission Assessments (SOMA) at NASA Langley Research Center. The contract supports the NASA Headquarters Science Mission Directorate by providing critical evaluations of flight investigations, independent program reviews, and related technical analyses. The five-year period of performance is scheduled from June 1, 2027, through May 31, 2032, with a minimum government obligation of 100,000 dollars and a maximum contract value of 99,750,000 dollars. Task orders under this vehicle will be awarded as Firm-Fixed-Price.

Request for Information (RFI) for Site Development Partnerships at NASA Langley Research Center
Solicitation # LARC-RFI-2026_2027
NASA Langley Research Center is issuing Request for Information LARC-RFI-2026/2027 to identify industry, academic, and non-federal government partners for the development of the NASA Langley Aerospace Innovation District Hub in Hampton, Virginia. The initiative involves approximately 325 acres of developable land across seven parcels, with an additional 150 acres available subject to environmental and archaeological constraints. NASA seeks to establish a collaborative ecosystem through Enhanced Use Lease or National Historic Preservation Act lease agreements to support strategic priorities including hypersonics, autonomous systems, space payload processing, and Lunar/Mars simulation facilities. Proposed developments may also include renewable energy farms, data centers, and visitor housing. This is a presolicitation effort to determine commercial viability and gather development concepts; therefore, no formal solicitation currently exists and NASA will not provide payment for information submitted. Interested entities must submit a two to five page expression of interest electronically to the designated points of contact. The RFI period remains open until June 30, 2027, with NASA intending to publish one or more Announcements for Proposal prior to the closing date to outline specific evaluation factors for partner selection.
