Thermal Control & Cryogenic System Integration

The contract seeks the development and integration of a cryogenic cooling subsystem capable of maintaining a sample plate at a stable temperature of -120°C, using technologies such as a cryocooler or liquid nitrogen loop. The system must be designed for precise thermal control and rapid thermal cycling, with full integration into an existing control system to ensure accurate and repeatable temperature transitions. Performance requirements emphasize reliability under operational constraints typical of space-related experimental environments, with emphasis on stability, response time, and minimal thermal drift. The work is to be performed at a designated location in Huntsville, Alabama, with a tight response deadline of June 26, 2026. This is a subcontract opportunity under NASA Shared Services Center, classified under NAICS code 333415 for industrial machinery manufacturing, indicating the technical nature of the hardware and system integration involved. The solicitation is open to qualified vendors capable of delivering a turnkey cryogenic system with demonstrated expertise in low-temperature engineering and embedded control systems, with no set-aside type specified, meaning all eligible parties may compete.
