Astromaterials Glovebox Systems - Design & Fabrication (A-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

Solicitation - 0.5mm Calibration KitThe National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), under the Department of Commerce, has issued a Sources Sought announcement for a 0.5mm Calibration Kit to support scattering parameter traceability from dc to 250 GHz, targeting vendors capable of producing precision broadband electrical calibration artifacts. This initiative is currently in the market research phase and is not a formal Request for Quotation, meaning no contract clauses, evaluation factors, or binding pricing are yet established. The procurement is structured into three distinct phases: manufacturing by the vendor, dimensional metrology measurements conducted on-site at NIST Boulder, Colorado, and final assembly of components by the vendor following NIST’s dimensional review. Key deliverables include a disassembled precision offset short calibration kit, spare 0.5mm connector components for metrology use, assembled metrology-grade test port adapters, and a precision short open load kit. Delivery must comply with a phased approach where Item 1 is shipped first for NIST measurement, and Item 2 is only produced upon return of the disassembled unit, with both delivered within ten weeks of receipt back from NIST. Partial deliveries and payments are anticipated due to the interdependent nature of the process, and travel expenses incurred by vendors for on-site work will be reimbursed under the Federal Travel Regulation. Vendors must be registered in SAM.gov with an active Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), possess a valid CAGE code, provide evidence of small business or other socioeconomic status including SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone, SDVOSB, or VOSB, and hold an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN). On-site personnel must be U.S. citizens, and foreign nationals require 30-day advance registration. Capability statements, limited to five pages, must include company profile details, product specification sheets, manufacturing origin, typical lead times, and socioeconomic verification, excluding marketing brochures. Responses are due by June 17, 2026, and the point of contact is Daniel Kent at NIST Boulder, with deliveries directed to specified locations in Boulder, Colorado, and Gaithersburg, Maryland.
