Precision Connector and Interface Assembly

The contract requires the supply and integration of precision mating connectors that meet the military specification MS3476L16-26P/S, designed for use in extreme environments where reliability and thermal accuracy are critical. These connectors must be properly terminated using Type E thermocouple alloys on both the vacuum and atmospheric sides to ensure precise temperature measurement across disparate environmental conditions. The assembly must maintain mechanical integrity and electrical performance under thermal cycling and pressure differentials, making it suitable for aerospace and spaceflight applications. Issued as a subcontract by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the opportunity is classified under NAICS code 335999 for other electrical equipment and component manufacturing. The solicitation was posted on July 6, 2026, with a strict response deadline of July 9, 2026, at 5:00 PM, indicating a narrow window for proposal submission. The place of performance and specific delivery location are not defined, but the technical demands imply installation in mission-critical NASA systems requiring strict compliance with defense-grade standards and rigorous quality assurance processes.
