Carbon Dioxide Removal by Ionic Liquid System – Integrated (CDRILS-I)

The contracting agency, NASA's Space Suit and Crew Survival Systems Branch within the EC/Crew and Thermal Systems Division of the EA/Engineering Directorate, is seeking to procure a Carbon Dioxide Removal by Ionic Liquid System – Integrated (CDRILS-I). This system is designed to enhance life support capabilities by efficiently removing carbon dioxide and controlling humidity within space suits. The CDRILS-I is composed of two primary components: the CDRILS for Mobility (CDRILS-M), which will be integrated directly into the spacesuit to manage CO₂ and moisture levels for astronaut comfort and safety, and the CDRILS Regenerator (CDRILS-R), which supports the regeneration process of the system. This procurement will be a sole-source award to Honeywell International, indicating a single-source acquisition. The contract is associated with NAICS code 334511, which pertains to the manufacturing of electronic capacitors, resistors, coils, transformers, and other passive electronic components, reflecting the technical nature of the equipment. The solicitation was posted on October 1, 2025, and there is no small business set-aside involved. Points of contact for this forecast include individuals responsible for acquisition and small business support at NASA's Johnson Space Center.
