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

AI Contract Overview

NIST is seeking to acquire a high-performance 3D Digital Image Correlation (DIC) system along with two integrated environmental chambers under a sole-source acquisition authority, as market research indicates that only one vendor, Park Seungbae, currently meets the full technical requirements. The system includes four high-resolution cameras with at least 12-megapixel sensors capable of 25 Hz frame rates at full resolution, along with advanced lens configurations for both local and global measuring areas, ranging from 30 x 25 mm² to 650 x 480 mm². The system must feature dual LED illumination, a digital pattern projector for speckle-free imaging on reflective surfaces, an analog data acquisition controller with a minimum of eight 16-bit channels operating at 800,000 samples per second, and a dedicated workstation with specified processing and storage capabilities. The accompanying software suite must enable full image acquisition, calibration, correlation processing, and chamber control for in-situ thermal and mechanical testing of polymeric packaging materials under extreme conditions. Two environmental chambers are required: a mid-size chamber with a minimum internal volume of 20 x 20 x 20 inches and a measurable area of at least 15 x 15 inches, and a small-size chamber with a minimum internal volume of 8 x 8 x 8 inches and a measurable area of at least 4 x 4 inches. Both chambers must maintain a temperature range of -175°C to 300°C with specified heating and cooling ramp rates, and their power requirements must be detailed. The acquisition is classified under NAICS code 334516 with a small business size standard of 1,000 employees, but no set-aside is being applied. NIST is inviting all interested parties to respond by the deadline with evidence demonstrating their capability to meet or exceed the specified technical requirements, including company UEI, product authorization documentation, and supporting technical data, to allow for a final determination on whether a competitive procurement can be conducted. Responses must be submitted via email to the designated point of contact by the specified deadline.

NIST conducted market research in December 2025 to July 2026 to determine what sources could potentially meet NIST’s minimum requirements. This included searches on Google, GSA; SAM; surveying vendor websites; and issuance of a Sources Sought Notice on SAM.gov. Market research identified various manufacturers of 3D DIC systems, but only one can provide a commercial system providing integrated environmental chambers and a projector system necessary for in-situ 3D measurements required to study warpage and strain during long-term aging. The results of market research revealed that only Park Seungbae (UEI: K8ZQZ7N2LVT2) appears to be capable of meeting NIST’s requirements.

However, any sources that believe they are capable of meeting NIST’s minimum requirements are encouraged to respond to this notice by the response date to provide the following information at a minimum: Company Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) number in https://sam.gov; details about what your company is capable of providing that meets or exceeds NIST’s minimum requirements; whether your company is an authorized reseller of the product or service being cited and evidence of such authorization; and any other information that can help NIST determine whether this requirement may be competitively satisfied.

A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Only responses received by the offers due date and time of this notice will be considered by the government. Responses shall be submitted via email to nina.lin@nist.gov.
