Oxygen controller to create ultra-pure atmosphere inside test chamber
Waiver type - Procurement: Nonavailability
Agency: NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION (8000) • Product Service Code (PSC) : 6640 | Last Modified: 06/24/2025
Procurement Summary
The Gen’Air oxygen controller is a critical component for testing in NASA's Resonant Frequency Damping Analyzer (RFDA) chamber, particularly when dealing with carbide materials prone to oxidation. The ability to precisely control the oxygen environment is essential for obtaining accurate test results, especially in an ultra-pure environment. The SETNAG oxygen controller offers a unique advantage by allowing the control of oxygen flow with high precision, which is crucial for testing materials that are highly sensitive to oxygen.
Waiver Rationale Summary
The Gen’Air oxygen controller is a critical component required for testing in NASA's Resonant Frequency program. After conducting market research, it was determined that there are no domestic manufacturers that produce an equivalent item meeting NASA’s technical and performance requirements. The Gen’Air controller possesses unique features and specifications essential to the success of the testing process, and no domestically manufactured alternatives have been identified that can satisfy these needs.
