NASA/MSFC has a requirement for a Nitrojet Supervisory Control System. This is software to control a high pressure liquid nitrogen blasting system and high pressure water blasting systems installed in an automated blasting cell within building 4707/rooms 150 and 151. Once installed the system will allow the control of high pressure liquid nitrogen or high pressure water to remove thermal protection systems (TPS), paint and other tough coatings from typical flight vehicle substrates including hardware and test specimens. **Please see attached statement of work.
NASA/MSFC intends to purchase the items from NitroCision, LLC. They are the only source for the liquid nitrogen blasting technology in that they hold the sole proprietary rights to the Nitrojet system technology, equipment and associated literature.
The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
