Schneider Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) hardware Equipment.

This procurement by the NASA Shared Services Center is a full and open competition set aside exclusively for small businesses under NAICS code 334513, requiring the acquisition of new, non-refurbished Schneider Electric Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) hardware for NASA Glenn Research Center. The solicitation mandates that all vendors must be certified through the Schneider Electric Alliance Industrial Automation Distributor (IAD) program, with verification via the official Schneider partner directory being a strict eligibility requirement—any quote from a non-certified vendor will be rejected outright. The contract is structured as a firm-fixed-price arrangement with a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology, meaning technical acceptability is a pass/fail threshold and the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer will be selected. Delivered FOB Destination, the hardware must include specific part numbers such as BMEXBP1002, BMXCPS4002, and others, all in original factory packaging and conforming exactly to existing NASA system configurations to ensure seamless integration. The delivery window is 30 days after receipt of order, with acceptance occurring at the Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. All vendors must comply with stringent export and import controls, including adherence to ITAR and EAR regulations, and are required to properly document and claim duty-free entry under applicable tariff provisions. Packages must be clearly marked with "UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT" and the contracting agency name, and shipping documents must contain the contract number, carrier identification, duty-free notation, gross weight, and estimated value. Submission of quotes must be made via email to Laura A. Quave at laura.a.quave@nasa.gov by May 13, 2026, with all correspondence referencing Notice ID 80NSSC26930912Q. Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov and provide their UEI and CAGE codes, but no socioeconomic certifications beyond small business status are required. The government will not conduct trade-offs, and no pricing data is included in the solicitation—contract value is undetermined at this stage. Contractor personnel are subject to NASA facility access restrictions, and handling of sensitive information must follow NASA protocols. There is no mention of invoicing systems, payment office details, or accounting codes in the documentation, and no military standards or barcoding requirements are specified.
