Scanivalve Calibration System

Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

NASA/NSSC has a requirement for a Scanivalve Calibration System. This is intended to be a sole source contract to SCANIVALVE CORP, as they have been determined to be the sole provider. The procurement will be conducted by NASA/NSSC, with performance located at NASA/ Glenn Research Center (GRC). The government intends to acquire commercial items or services under FAR Part 12.

• Scanivalve Calibration System

• Sole source contract to SCANIVALVE CORP.

• Procurement will utilize provisions, clauses, and procedures prescribed in FAR Part 12 for Commercial.

• NAICS Code: 334513

• Interested organizations may submit capabilities and qualifications in writing.

• Deadline for submission: Not later than 7:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on 6/18/2026.

• Submissions will be evaluated solely to determine if the procurement should be conducted on a competitive basis.

• The determination to compete this proposed effort is at the government's discretion.

• Oral communications are not acceptable.

• This is currently intended as a sole source procurement.

• NASA FAR Supplement Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman can be found at the provided link.

• Primary Point of Contact: Shanna L. Patterson, Procurement Specialist (Shanna.L.Patterson@nasa.gov).

Solicitation / RFP / RFQ

This document is a Recommendation and Determination to solicit from one source or brand name. It recommends negotiating with Scanivalve Corporation for a Scanivalve Calibration System.

• Acquisition of a second Scanivalve SPC4050 calibration system.

• The system is required for use with a scanned pressure system planned for installation.

• The purpose is to identify potential replacements for current pressure systems.

• The system must meet specific requirements for accuracy, reliability, durability, and stability across temperature.

• The system must be technically compliant and provide continuity with existing instrumentation.

• The estimated period of performance or lead-time for delivery is 14 weeks ARO (After Receipt of Order).

• The total estimated cost is redacted.

This document does not contain submission instructions or evaluation criteria as it is a justification for a sole source procurement, not the solicitation itself.

This recommendation is for a sole source or brand name procurement, indicating no set-aside is applicable.

• The justification highlights that Scanivalve Inc. was identified as one of two potential manufacturers after extensive research.
• Scanivalve was selected due to its specifications meeting the project's requirements, and no other commercially available products meet the necessary specifications.
• Using another vendor/brand is deemed impractical due to the lack of available scanners meeting the specific pressure requirements, which would lead to critical capability gaps, project delays, performance risks, and compromised data integrity.

Statement of Work (SOW)

The NASA Glenn Research Center requires the purchase of a Scanivalve Pressure Calibrator.

This SOW details the specifications for a Scanivalve 2-Channel Pressure Calibrator (SPC4050) with specific transducers and accuracy requirements. It also includes a Pneumatic Logic Unit (SPC4050PLU-2) and a Pneumatic Distribution Panel (70380-02). The system must be a 4-range portable calibration system (73680) that integrates these components, including a durable case for transport and protection.

• Scanivalve SPC4050 Calibrator:

  • 2-Channel, IS-33, 0.008% FS Accuracy, with internal barometer.
  • Channel A (LPSVR): Transducers for 5psig and 15psig.
  • Channel B (MPSVR): Transducers for 50psig and 100psig.
  • Removable/interchangeable transducers, color touch screen, suitable for automated DSA5002 calibrations, bench or rack-mount.

• Scanivalve SPC4050PLU-2 Pneumatic Logic Unit:

  • 2-channel, 90 psi control pressure.
  • Supports positive or vacuum calibrations, zero offset correction, leak and response testing.

• Scanivalve 70380-02 Pneumatic Distribution Panel:

  • 2-channel, 90 psi control pressure.
  • Provides supply and control pressure to the SPC4050 and SPC4050PLU-2.

• Scanivalve 73680 Portable Calibration System:

  • Integrates SPC4050, SPC4050PLU-2, and 70380-02.
  • Includes a durable transport case.

• Transducer accuracy: 0.008% FS.

• Calibration ranges specified for each transducer.

• Place of Performance: NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, OH.

• Period of Performance: 14 weeks ARO (After Receipt of Order).

• Warranty: 1 year against defects in materials and workmanship.
