Ebara ESA-300W Vacuum Pump

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is conducting a small business set-aside procurement for an Ebara multi-stage Roots dry vacuum pump to support Vacuum Facility 13 at the Glenn Research Center. This combined synopsis/solicitation, issued by the NASA Shared Services Center, specifies a brand-name requirement for equipment capable of high-volume pumping speeds to maintain research operations. The procurement has undergone multiple revisions to update the Statement of Work and technical specifications, transitioning from an initial 20,000 liter/minute requirement to a revised 30,000 liter/minute capacity. The opportunity record and associated attachments establish a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation methodology. Quotes must be firm-fixed-price and adhere to technical parameters including specific power requirements, sound levels, and physical inlet dimensions. The government has formalized this as a brand-name acquisition to ensure interchangeability with existing systems, reduce parts inventory, and minimize potential downtime at the research facility. The solicitation package includes a revised Request for Quotation (RFQ) template, a revised Statement of Work (SOW), and a Redacted Brand Name Justification. These documents outline the mandatory delivery to Building 301 in Cleveland, Ohio, and specify a lead time of one to two weeks after receipt of order. Responses are due by June 5, 2026, at 3:00 PM.
