Quick Summary
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), through its Shared Services Center, is soliciting quotes for STMicroelectronics (STMicro) Integrated Circuits (ICs) for the FALCON-Lidar project's PMT Detector System electronic builds. This is a Brand Name or Equivalent/Sole Source requirement, justified by the need to leverage existing proven designs and avoid significant development costs. The procurement is under Full and Open Competition, with small businesses receiving first consideration. Quotes are due by May 21, 2026, at 11 a.m. CT.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) STMicroelectronics Integrated Circuits, specifically:
- Quantity 6, Part Number 5962F9865107VZC
- Quantity 12, Part Number 5962F0620202VYC
- Quantity 6, Part Number 5962F9865207VZC
- Quantity 12, Part Number 5962F8755001VYC
- Quantity 5, Part Number 5962F1820401VXC
These components are critical for populating proto-flight boards following a developed prototype Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) board for the FALCON-Lidar project.
