Design and Fabrication of Flight-Grade XRIS Sensors and Optics

This contract involves the design, analysis, development, and fabrication of two flight-qualified X-Ray Irradiance Sensors (XRIS) that include detectors, sensors, and optical components. The sensors must meet NASA's stringent spaceflight standards, encompassing structural integrity, thermal management, and radiation performance to ensure their reliability and functionality in the harsh space environment. Managed by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, this subcontract seeks entities capable of delivering fully qualified flight-grade instruments suitable for space missions. The work falls under the NAICS code 334510, related to electromedical and electrotherapeutic apparatus manufacturing, indicating a high-technology focus. The solicitation was posted in early June 2026, with a response deadline in early July 2026, emphasizing a timely and precise submission to meet NASA's schedule for advancing space sensor technology.
