Description
NASA Ames Research Center (ARC) is conducting market research for a new indefinite‑delivery, indefinite‑quantity (IDIQ) contract titled Project Engineering, Manufacturing, and Science Services (PEMSS). The effort will support a broad portfolio of engineering, manufacturing, and scientific activities at ARC, including biosciences flight development, astrobiology, spaceflight systems, ground‑based facilities, and mission operations. The requirement will be fulfilled through task‑order contracts that may involve CNC machining, metal fabrication, cryogenic analysis, electronics, software, data management, and animal‑care support. NASA is seeking capability statements (max 10 pages) from U.S.‑based firms, emphasizing small‑business participation; the acquisition is expected to be a total small‑business set‑aside. Responses are due by 9:00 a.m. PT on August 20, 2026. • Target audience: U.S. domestic engineering, scientific, and manufacturing firms (especially small businesses). • Scope: Engineering design, prototype fabrication, scientific experiment support, facility operations, and related IT services. • Delivery: Task‑order based under an IDIQ; work performed primarily on‑site at NASA Ames with some remote elements. • Funding ceiling: Not disclosed, but NAICS 541715 suggests a multi‑million‑dollar ceiling (≈$25‑$50 M). • Mandatory actions: Submit a 10‑page capability statement via email to Tiffany Goodwin; attend the virtual Industry Day (recommended, not required).
