Astromaterials Glovebox Systems - Design & Fabrication (A-BOX)
Solicitation # 80JSC026A-BOX
This notice, issued by NASA’s Johnson Space Center under solicitation number 80JSC026A-BOX, is a Request for Information (RFI) for the design, fabrication, testing, delivery, and installation of controlled-atmosphere glovebox systems to support the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science Curation Facility. The systems are intended for handling lunar and planetary samples, including those from Artemis missions, and must operate in ambient, cold (−85 to −20 °C), and ultra-cold/cryogenic (< −85 °C) environments while maintaining inert atmosphere conditions. Technical requirements are aligned with the American Glovebox Society Guidelines AGS-G001-2007 (3rd Edition), and compliance with quality standards such as ISO9001, AS9100, and NQA-1 is mandatory. The RFI seeks industry input on feasibility, capabilities, and cost estimates, with no formal proposals required. Access to the technical library containing detailed requirements is granted through SAM.gov after completing a two-step verification process and submitting a formal request form to NASA, with all requestors responsible for U.S. export control compliance. The response deadline has been extended to August 5, 2026, at 4:00 PM Central Time. The RFI emphasizes small business participation and solicit feedback on realistic subcontracting goals, barriers to entry for small businesses, and strategies to enhance involvement such as modularizing scope or encouraging teaming arrangements. NASA is considering potential set-asides for Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, HUBZone, Veteran-Owned, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Women-Owned Small Businesses. Organizational conflicts of interest (OCI) are a significant concern due to the nature of prior involvement in astromaterials handling and related design work; respondents must disclose any potential OCI and propose mitigation strategies, though NASA’s review at this stage does not constitute formal approval or assurance. Responses must be submitted electronically via email to the designated contracting officer and contract specialist, formatted according to Attachment II—Capabilities Questions and Responses—which addresses small business utilization, OCI, technical capability, and business considerations. The place of performance is the ARES Curation Facility in Houston, Texas, and final delivery and installation will occur there. No contract value, pricing, or award criteria are provided, as this is purely an information-gathering phase to inform future procurement strategy. Any information submitted is treated as voluntarily provided under FOIA and will not be publicly

The Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), is soliciting a Cryogenic Nano Positioner system under solicitation number NB686000-26-01956, with responses due by June 25, 2026. The requirement, under NAICS code 334516, is for the procurement of precision instrumentation to support superconducting device research, specifically for pi-ground state Josephson junction studies and electrical performance testing of superconducting digital logic circuits. The system includes eight X-axis nanopositioners, two Z-axis nanopositioners, additional Z-axis positioners, necessary adapters to form four complete XYZ stacks, two control and readout units, two preamplifiers/drivers, and scanning stages for X and Z axes. All items must be new, fully compliant with original manufacturer specifications, and cannot include used, remanufactured, prototype, experimental, custom, or gray market components. The equipment must operate reliably at temperatures below 4 Kelvin and vacuum pressures below 1x10^-8 Torr, constructed entirely from nonmagnetic materials, and shipped in original manufacturer packaging with all associated software and documentation. Delivery is F.O.B. Destination to NIST’s Boulder, Colorado facility at 325 Broadway, with the contractor responsible for all shipping costs, damages, and losses prior to receipt. Awardees must coordinate any shipment with NIST’s designated officials due to restricted site access. Installation, training, and a minimum one-year warranty commencing upon government acceptance are required, covering all parts and labor.
