5-axis Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) Milling Machine
NASA Ames Research Center is conducting a full and open competition to acquire a 5-axis Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) milling machine under RFQ 80ARC026Q0002. The procurement covers the machine, necessary tooling, a comprehensive warranty, and at least five days of on-site operator training. This is a commercial product acquisition under NAICS code 333517, with delivery and installation required at Moffett Field, California, within 90 days of the order. NASA will award a contract based on a best-value determination, evaluating technical acceptability, maintenance and repair cost structures, and price. Technical and maintenance factors are considered roughly equal to price. All training must be finished by September 30, 2026. The solicitation includes a Statement of Work, a maintenance pricing spreadsheet, and quality requirements for a Certificate of Conformance. Quotes, including a signed SF 1449, are due by June 15, 2026. Technical proposals will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis. This is a firm-fixed-price requirement for a CNC milling machine with a 90-day delivery and installation window. NASA will evaluate quotes based on technical acceptability, maintenance pricing, and total price. Technical and maintenance factors are roughly equal to price in the best-value determination. NASA Ames Research Center requires a high-accuracy 5-axis vertical machining center to support the production of components for the Space Launch System, Artemis, and Orion programs.
