HAL IG20 OXYGEN/Argon ION Gun

NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center requires a HAL IG20 Oxygen/Argon ion gun system to support the Space REDI experimental chamber for lunar and asteroid regolith research. The solicitation is a sole‑source award to Hiden Analytical Inc. The system includes an ion gun head, control hardware, gas manifold, beam positioning adjuster, differential pumping module, pressure gauge, and spare filament kits, meeting specific performance specs (0.5‑5 keV beam energy, 100 µm spot size, 0.1‑800 nA current density, oxygen compatible, etc.). Delivery is expected in FY26 with a ~4‑month lead time, after which the equipment will be installed and used continuously for scientific experiments. • Primary purpose: experimental analysis of ion‑radiation effects on lunar regolith and volatile species detection. • Scope: supply, delivery, and installation of the ion gun system; no ongoing manufacturer servicing required. • Performance location: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD. • Submission deadline for capability statements: 28 Aug 2026 (12 p.m. CST). • NAICS: 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing). • Sole‑source justification under FAR 12.102(a).
