Sensory and Nutrient Data Integration Framework Development

The contract seeks the design and implementation of a data integration system that merges sensory evaluation data with quantitative nutrient assay results to support predictive shelf-life modeling. This effort is focused on creating a unified framework capable of harmonizing disparate data streams from sensory panels and laboratory nutrient analyses, enabling advanced modeling to forecast product degradation over time. The work must ensure compatibility, accuracy, and scalability for use in research and operational environments where food integrity and longevity are critical. The system must be built to support future expansion and interoperability with existing data platforms. This is a Small Business Set Aside subcontract under NAICS code 541715, issued by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The place of performance is in Houston, Texas, with a response deadline of August 11, 2026, and the solicitation was posted on August 4, 2026. The effort requires expertise in data science, chemical analysis, sensory science, and system architecture, with a strong emphasis on delivering a robust, maintainable solution that directly supports NASA’s mission-critical needs in food systems and long-duration spaceflight. Only small business concerns eligible under the SBA guidelines may respond.
