Supply of RNN Series Differentially Pumped Rotary Seal

The contract calls for the supply of a high-precision rotary motion feedthrough from the RNN Series, specifically designed for ultra-high vacuum environments to maintain vacuum integrity while allowing controlled rotational movement into a vacuum chamber. This component must meet stringent performance standards to ensure seamless operation under extreme conditions without compromising seal integrity or introducing contamination. The requirement is part of a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, indicating that only small businesses certified by the Small Business Administration are eligible to bid, reinforcing a commitment to supporting small business participation in federal procurement. The North American Industry Classification System code 333999 identifies this as a miscelleneous manufacturing category, aligning with specialized vacuum component fabrication. The solicitation was posted on July 21, 2026, with a strict response deadline of July 28, 2026, at 8:00 PM, leaving a seven-day window for interested parties to submit proposals. The contracting entity is the NASA Shared Services Center, acting on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, indicating the feedthrough will support a critical NASA mission or research application requiring flawless vacuum performance. Though no specific point of contact or place of performance details are provided, the nature of the component suggests deployment in experimental or flight hardware systems requiring exceptional reliability. Bidders must demonstrate technical capability, quality assurance processes, and compliance with ultra-high vacuum standards to meet NASA’s operational demands.
