How to bid on B201 SHB Cleanroom Activation for Astromaterials for NASA
What NASA is buying and why it matters
NASA's Johnson Space Center White Sands Test Facility needs engineering design services for HVAC, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. This work supports the activation of the Building 201 South High Bay cleanroom, which is used for astromaterials.
While NASA intends to award this contract to Lasco Services without competition, they are asking other companies to submit their capabilities. This is an opportunity for your firm to show NASA that a competitive acquisition might be possible for this type of work.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This Request for Information (RFI) was published on July 28, 2026. Your response must be submitted by August 12, 2026, at 4:00 PM Mountain Daylight Time. This is equivalent to 6:00 PM Eastern Time.
At the deadline, NASA will stop accepting submissions. They will then evaluate the capabilities received to decide if they should conduct this acquisition on a competitive basis instead of a sole-source award to Lasco Services.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is for professional engineering firms with expertise in HVAC, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design services. Experience with cleanroom environments and contamination control, especially in a research or aerospace context, would be highly relevant.
Firms that have previously worked with NASA or similar government agencies on specialized facility projects may find this particularly suitable. The location of the work is Las Cruces, New Mexico.
How to respond
To respond, you must submit your capabilities and qualifications electronically via email. Send your email to Cynthia Uribe at [email protected].
Ensure your submission clearly outlines your firm's ability to perform the required cleanroom HVAC, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering design services. Your response will be used to help NASA determine if a competitive acquisition is feasible.
Practical tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is an RFI, treat your submission as a formal demonstration of your firm's expertise. Clearly articulate your experience with cleanroom design, contamination control, and relevant engineering disciplines.
Highlight any past projects that involved similar scope or complexity, especially those for government clients. Focus on how your firm's capabilities directly address NASA's stated need for cleanroom activation for astromaterials. Ensure your submission is concise, professional, and submitted before the deadline.
