Electric Propulsion Thruster Development & Supply

This subcontract focuses on the development and supply of electric propulsion thrusters, specifically Hall effect and Ion systems, for prime contractors supporting Department of the Air Force SPRINT program projects. The scope of work includes the creation of plasma sources, grids, and power processing units, as well as the testing of electric propulsion interactions with spacecraft bus systems. Technical operations will involve the use of high-voltage power supplies, xenon or krypton propellant systems, and vacuum chambers to ensure hardware functionality. The project requires the delivery of electric propulsion hardware and power processing unit components. Due to the nature of the work, personnel may be required to hold TS/SCI security clearances. This opportunity is managed under the Department of Defense through the FA9300 Aftc Pzr agency, with a response deadline set for January 23, 2027.
