Shortwave and Longwave instrumentation, cables and ventilators

NASA’s National Space Science Center (NSSC) is seeking capability statements from vendors able to supply research‑grade shortwave and longwave radiometric instruments (pyranometers, pyrgeometers), associated ventilators and cabling. The hardware will be shipped to NASA Langley Research Center, tested, and then deployed in two separate programs: (1) installation on Dominion Energy’s offshore substation platform located ~43 km off Virginia Beach for long‑term oceanic surface radiation measurements (targeted for 2027), and (2) integration onto a Boeing 777 aircraft for airborne radiative flux experiments. The procurement is a straightforward commercial‑hardware purchase; no design work, optional tasks, or vendor meetings are required. Delivery of the full instrument suite is required by the end of the current calendar year, after which NASA will conduct internal testing before field deployment. • Required items: Kipp & Zonen pyranometers, pyrgeometers, ventilators, and all necessary cabling. • Delivery location: NASA Langley Research Center, Virginia. • Key milestones: receipt of equipment by year‑end; testing at LRC; deployment to offshore substation (2027) and to 777 aircraft thereafter. • Evaluation: NASA is only collecting capability statements; no price quotes will be evaluated. • Applicable standards: BSRN calibration protocols, ISO 9060:2018.
