Service Maintenance for 250-Ton Hydra-Set.

NASA Shared Services Center is seeking service maintenance for a 250-Ton Hydra-Set system under solicitation 80NSSC26931285Q, which is a sources-sought notice and total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, limiting eligibility to small businesses. The requirement calls for comprehensive functional testing, static proof-load testing at 200% of rated capacity for structural integrity and 125% for hydraulic system verification, a 10-point calibration with ±0.5% accuracy, functional hoisting and rotation tests at 250,000 lbs, a one-hour hang test, and inspection for internal and external leakage, all to be performed at the contractor’s facility. Deliverables include a Calibration Test Report and a Certificate of Conformance, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the contractor’s site. The procurement is planned as a sole-source award to Del Mar Avionics under FAR 12.102(a) for commercial services, and no price submissions will be reviewed or accepted at this stage. Performance is expected to occur within six weeks of the Hydra-Set’s arrival at the contractor’s facility, with the place of performance indicated as Orlando, Florida, though NASA Kennedy Space Center is referenced as the operational site. All submissions must reference the solicitation number and be submitted in written capability statements by the deadline of April 30, 2026, with no formal evaluation factors, weights, or pricing data provided. The contracting office is located at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, and the NASA FAR Supplement clause 1852.215-84 on the Ombudsman is the only explicitly referenced clause. No packaging, marking, invoicing, payment, or contract administration details are included, and no representations or certifications from potential offerors are available as part of this pre-solicitation notice.
