What the buyer needs
AI summaryNASA/NSSC requires a High Temperature/High Pressure Cell for Extreme Condition Analysis to support N-Mid-IR spectroscopic studies at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The needed cell must fit an FTIR system, simulate temperatures up to 800 degrees Celsius and pressures from vacuum to hundreds of psi, and capture NIR data for solids, liquids, and gases across planetary and interstellar environments. NASA intends to issue a sole-source commercial contract to Specac Inc., with delivery required twelve weeks after drawing approval. Interested organizations may submit written capability statements referencing the notice ID by 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on November 4, 2026, to determine whether NASA will compete the procurement. NASA will not evaluate quotes or accept oral communications.
