Scientific Instrument Integration and Calibration

The contract is for the final assembly, calibration, and performance validation of gas chromatography and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry systems to meet NASA’s stringent requirements for accuracy and reliability. The work involves integrating these scientific instruments into a fully functional platform, ensuring all components operate in harmony and produce data that satisfies mission-critical standards for space-based or planetary exploration applications. All phases of the project—from assembly through to rigorous performance testing—must be executed with precision to guarantee consistency, repeatability, and long-term operational stability under demanding environmental conditions. This subcontract is designated as a Small Business Set Aside under the SBA program, with the NAICS code 334516 indicating it pertains to laboratory analytical instrument manufacturing. The opportunity was posted on July 31, 2026, with a response deadline of August 7, 2026, and is managed by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Performance of the work is expected to occur at an unspecified location, and while no point of contact is listed, interested small businesses must submit proposals before the deadline to be considered for award under this set-aside initiative.
