What this opportunity is
NASA is procuring a full-functioning modular, skid-mounted cryogenic air separation unit (ASU) for the production of high-purity liquid nitrogen at the John C. Stennis Space Center. This contract was awarded on a sole-source basis to Nikkiso Cosmodyne, indicating that no other suppliers were deemed capable of fulfilling the requirements. The notice type is a justification, which means that small businesses should track this opportunity for similar future contracts rather than bid on it directly.
