High-Speed Avionics Interface Development

The contract entails the design and development of specialized hardware and firmware for high-speed communication interfaces critical to spacecraft operations, focusing on Time-Sensitive Networking Ethernet, PCI-Express, and SpaceWire protocols to achieve deterministic, low-latency data transfer under stringent spaceflight conditions. The work requires advanced engineering expertise to ensure reliable performance in harsh environments, with an emphasis on real-time synchronization, error resilience, and integration with existing avionics architectures. The project is structured as a subcontract under NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, with performance expected to occur in Pasadena, California, at a zip code of 91101. The solicitation was posted on July 6, 2026, with a final submission deadline of July 23, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 334511, indicating classification within the manufacture of navigational, measuring, electromedical, and control instruments. There is no set-aside type specified, and the contracting authority is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration through its JPL management office. While no point of contact details are provided, the contractual scope demands proven capabilities in space-qualified electronics development and a demonstrated history of delivering mission-critical avionics systems compliant with NASA standards.
