Request For Proposal (RFP) for NASA Agency-wide Supply of Liquid and Gaseous Helium
Solicitation # 80KSC024R0010
Solicitation 80KSC024R0010 is an indefinite delivery requirements contract issued by the NASA John F. Kennedy Space Center for the agency-wide supply of liquid and gaseous helium. The contract supports aerospace flight, research, and testing operations across numerous NASA facilities, including the Kennedy, Johnson, Goddard, and Marshall Space Flight Centers, as well as the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility. The procurement utilizes a five-year period of performance consisting of a two-year base period and three one-year options, extending through September 30, 2030. Awards are made on a lowest-price-technically-acceptable basis, with the government anticipating multiple contract awards to ensure a stable supply chain. The contract features an innovative IDIQ CLIN pool opt-in process, allowing both existing helium contractors and new entrants to compete for specific NASA locations by submitting capability forms to demonstrate technical acceptability. Technical requirements mandate that gaseous helium meet Grade A purity per MIL-PRF-27407E, with strict limits on neon impurities. Contractors are responsible for rigorous quality control, including the use of tamper-evident seals and the provision of laboratory analysis reports and certificates of conformance with each delivery. Standard deliveries are generally required within 48 hours of an order, with provisions for emergency delivery charges for shorter lead times.
