160 cm² Non-Flow-Through Fuel Cell Stack Supply

The contract seeks the supply of a 160 cm² active area non-flow-through fuel cell stack designed for integration into a 250W balance of plant system, targeting applications requiring compact, efficient power generation. The fuel cell must meet specific technical requirements to ensure compatibility with the designated system architecture and operational environment, with performance criteria focused on reliability, energy density, and thermal management under constrained space conditions. The procurement is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 335912, indicating classification within the other electronic component manufacturing sector, and is managed by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The place of performance is established in Houston, TX, with a response deadline of August 7, 2026, at 6:00 PM local time, following a posting date of August 4, 2026. The solicitation does not specify a set-aside type, nor does it indicate any small business preferences or special contracting requirements beyond the stated technical scope. Proposers must deliver a fully functional fuel cell stack ready for system integration, with no mention of additional services such as installation, training, or long-term maintenance, suggesting the scope is limited to hardware delivery and verification of compliance with the specified performance parameters. All submissions must be made through the provided SAM.gov link, and the contract is anticipated to support NASA’s broader objectives in advanced power systems for space and terrestrial applications.
