Quick Summary
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center is soliciting quotes for Allen-Bradley Key Switches E1 Controls. This is a brand name requirement and a Total Small Business Set-Aside for hardware procurement only, intended to support control system upgrades at NASA Stennis Space Center. Quotes are due by June 16, 2026, at 7 a.m. CT.
Scope of Work
This procurement is for the supply and delivery of specific Allen-Bradley key switch components, including various models such as 800TC-H31BF up to 800TC-H3126BF, in exact quantities. It is strictly a hardware procurement only; installation, testing, integration, configuration, field engineering, or programming services are explicitly excluded. No substitutions for the listed hardware are permitted. All hardware must be new, unused, factory-certified, 100% genuine Allen-Bradley products, meeting manufacturer specifications and fully compatible with NASA SSC's existing systems.
Brand Name Justification
NASA Stennis Space Center requires Allen-Bradley key switches due to their unique compatibility with existing control systems, including native compatibility with installed racks and backplanes, standardized control architecture, pre-engineered integration with existing NASA systems, and proven performance in critical environments. Alternate vendors were evaluated and found not to meet these specific requirements.
