Contract Opportunity Analysis

NASA’s Shared Services Center is seeking a NETZSCH LFA717 HyperFlash system for NASA Ames Research Center to support thermal diffusivity and conductivity testing. The required system is a flash diffusivity testing apparatus with an embedded xenon flash source, high-speed detector, integrated sample changer for up to 16 samples, and related components including a steel furnace, InSb detector, ZoomOptics, cooling device, and reduced pressure and gas cycling system. It will be used for aerospace and thermal protection system development, with performance at NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, and the period of performance is 7 weeks ARO. NASA intends to award this as a sole-source commercial acquisition to NETZSCH Instruments North America under FAR 12.102(a), and interested organizations may submit capabilities and qualifications in writing to McKenzie Hanson by 3:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on 5/27/2026; oral responses are not acceptable.

AI Summary
NASA Ames Research Center (ARC) requires a NETZSCH LFA 717 HyperFlash® Flash Diffusivity Testing Apparatus to evaluate thermal diffusivity and conductivity of materials for aerospace and thermal protection system development. The system includes a high-performance test instrument for contactless measurement, an embedded Xenon flash system, a high-speed detector, and an integrated sample changer for up to 16 samples. It operates within a thermal diffusivity range of 0.01 to 2000 mm²/s and a thermal conductivity range of 0.1 to 3000 W/(m*K). The procurement includes various components such as a steel furnace, InSb detector, ZoomOptics, a cooling device, and a reduced pressure and gas cycling system. The agency will provide the computer and a refrigerated bath circulator. The period of performance is 7 weeks ARO at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, CA.
