High Vacuum Gas Sorption Analyzer Purchase
Solicitation # 80NSSC26943401Q
The NASA Shared Services Center is seeking the procurement of an Autosorb 6100 Three Station High Vacuum Gas Sorption Analyzer to be utilized at the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. This acquisition is designated as a sole source requirement under FAR 12.102(a), with the government identifying Anton Paar USA, Inc. as the only provider capable of meeting the technical specifications. The instrument is essential for the high-accuracy characterization of NASA-developed polymer aerogels, specifically for measuring BET surface area, micropore analysis, and pore size distributions ranging from 0.35 to 500 nm. The system must include specialized features such as TrueZone active coolant level control, PowderProtect technology, and Kaomi software, and must be compatible with various non-corrosive gases including Helium, Nitrogen, Argon, Krypton, Carbon Dioxide, and Methane. The total procurement package includes the analyzer unit, a physisorption kit, a cell handling kit, six Type A long cells, and specific surface area reference materials. Beyond the hardware, the contract requires professional installation and end-user training on instrument upkeep and cleaning, both of which must be performed by qualified Anton Paar personnel using certified and calibrated equipment. The estimated period of performance for delivery is four to six weeks after receipt of the order. This effort is being managed by Procurement Specialist Shanna Patterson, with the current phase focusing on the collection of capability statements to confirm the sole source determination.

TechScan Purchase
Solicitation # 80NSSC26943194Q
The NASA Shared Services Center is seeking the procurement of a TechScan 4 Axes Immersion Scanner system for the Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. This equipment is intended for advanced 3D defect mapping and high-speed inspection of aerospace components. The system must include a welded steel support structure, a stainless steel tank, servo motor actuators, TecView software, and associated electronics.
