Contract Overview

Solicitation details, issuing organization, response deadlines, documents, and interested companies for this government contract opportunity.

AI Contract Overview

NASA Langley Research Center is inviting companies to express interest in licensing a newly developed eddy current inspection device designed to detect cracks in metal structures that are difficult to access without extensive disassembly. This innovative probe can be inserted into cavities within metal parts to inspect the surrounding structure outwardly, such as examining the outer diameter of thick tubes from inside. It has been successfully used to detect stress corrosion cracking in Space Shuttle thrusters, enabling inspections without dismantling the hardware, which significantly reduces inspection time while maintaining structural integrity. The licensing opportunity may be offered on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and could include specific fields of use. NASA Langley seeks organizations interested in commercializing, manufacturing, and marketing this technology for applications including the inspection of rocket thrusters and other challenging metallic structures. Interested parties are encouraged to respond through the Research Triangle International representative to initiate engagement and help NASA assess market interest. While this notice serves as a preliminary market research and public awareness effort, no direct procurement or follow-on contract is anticipated from the responses received.

Full Description

NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, VA solicits interest from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. THE TECHNOLOGY: NASA Langley has developed a new eddy current inspection device that probes for cracks in parts of metal structures that are often inaccessible without extensive disassembly. The probe is specially designed for insertion into the cavity of a part to inspect the surrounding structure in an outward direction. For example, the probe may be held inside a large, thick tube and pointed outward to inspect the outer diameter of the tube. NASA used the probe to test for stress corrosion cracking in the relief radius of Space Shuttle thrusters without having to dismantle the hardware, reducing inspection time while ensuring the health of the structure. NASA Langley is seeking organizations that would like to license the probe to test for cracks in rocket thrusters and other metallic structures with hard-to-reach inspection areas. To express interest in this opportunity, please respond to Sean Sullivan, Research Triangle International (RTI), at: NASA Langley Research Center, Strategic Relationships Office (SRSO), 17 West Taylor St., Mail Stop 218, Building 1212, Room 110 Hampton, Virginia, E-mail: contact@example.gov, or phone: +1 (555) 000-0000. Please indicate the date and title of the FBO notice and include your company and contact information. RTI is responsible for aggregating and acknowledging all responses. These responses are provided to members of NASA Langleys Innovative Partnerships Office within the SRO for the purpose of promoting public awareness of our technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. If direct licensing interest results from this posting, SRO will follow the formal licensing process of posting in the Federal Register as required. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
