Simulant for Micrometeoroid Impact Testing

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center (NSSC) has a requirement for simulant used in micrometeoroid impact testing. NASA intends to award a sole source contract for these materials to KMZ ENTERPRISES LLC under the authority of FAR 12.102(a), as the government has determined this entity is the sole provider of the required simulant. The procurement will be conducted as an acquisition for commercial items or services according to FAR Part 12, with performance taking place at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in the United States.

This solicitation, identified by number 80NSSC26935078Q, is categorized under PSC 6605 Navigational Instruments and NAICS 327215 Glass Product Manufacturing Made of Purchased Glass. Metadata also indicates an 8AN 8AN set-aside. Although the government intends to proceed on a sole source basis, interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing to McKenzie Hanson by 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on June 11, 2026. These submissions will be evaluated to determine if the procurement should instead be conducted on a competitive basis, a decision that remains at the sole discretion of the government.

The notice was published and last updated on June 8, 2026, and lists no associated attachments. In accordance with NASA FAR Supplement Clause 1852.215-84, an Ombudsman is applicable to this acquisition. All responses must be submitted in writing, as oral communications are not acceptable for this notice.
