NASA Ames Research Center is seeking capability statements from firms that can relocate and rebuild three SSERVI regolith simulant testbeds at Moffett Field, California.
- **Opportunity and acquisition approach**
  - NASA/NSSC indicates an intent to make a sole-source award to McCarthy Building Companies, Inc.
  - Other interested organizations may submit capability statements for consideration of competition; quotes are not requested or evaluated.
- **Work scope**
  - Move the existing testbeds and simulants from Building 503 to designated facilities in Building 267A, Building 267, and the N267 Welding Shed.
  - Construct replacement Highlands and Lowlands testbeds and relocate the Deep Testbed frame and associated materials.
  - Handle approximately 22 tons of LHS-2E, 8 tons of JSC-1A, and 12 tons of anorthosite simulant from the Deep Testbed.
- **Key requirements**
  - Testbeds require flat-black finishes; the Highlands Testbed interior must have a durable, matte, non-reflective covering.
  - Develop a site-specific safety plan and address packaging, loading, equipment capacity, route and load limits, securement, unloading, worker protection, dust control, and spill response.
  - Coordinate the safest route with SSERVI and NASA Ames Protective Services.
- **Schedule**: Performance is to run from contract start through October 31, 2026; the start date is not specified.
- **Named organizations**: McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. is identified as the intended sole-source awardee, not as an OEM. No product manufacturers are named.
