Brand Name or Equal to Wisconsin Oven Electrically Heated Batch Walk-In Series Oven, a Model Batch-8/16/8-E10/RM
NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is conducting market research for a brand-name-or-equal Wisconsin Oven Electrically Heated Batch Walk-In Series Oven, Model Batch-8/16/8-E10/RM, including on-site installation and training at MSFC. The oven is intended for controlled thermal processing of composite thermoplastic materials and components, with requirements including 1,000°F maximum temperature, 500°F–900°F operating range, ±15°F uniformity at 900°F, and an 8' x 16' x 8' chamber, plus a custom filament winding cart, vacuum piping, controls/data communication, testing, shipping, and a minimum 3-year warranty. NASA seeks capability statements from all interested parties, including small businesses and HBCU/MIs, to help determine competition and small business subcontracting goals; vendors may respond as prime, subcontractor, or teaming partner. Input is specifically requested on realistic SB subcontracting goals, barriers to SB participation, and strategies to increase SB participation, such as breaking requirements into smaller components or teaming/mentor-protégé approaches. No solicitation currently exists, and any future solicitation will be synopsized on SAM.gov.
