The contract entails the fabrication of a prototype reusable space crop rooting module, HANDIVEG, developed by Sierra Space for integration into NASA’s Ohalo III system. This comprehensive procurement covers all aspects of production including parts, labor, fabrication, testing, reviews, and certification. The Ohalo III system, which will be installed on the International Space Station, is designed to validate crop production technologies, focusing on water delivery, space optimization, and advancing operational knowledge to inform the development of future systems. The HANDIVEG technology is specifically engineered to manage the delivery of water, nutrients, and oxygen to plant root zones under microgravity conditions, enhancing efficiency by optimizing volume and enabling water reuse across multiple growth cycles without the need for resupply. The contract is a small business set-aside opportunity, tied to NAICS code 541715, with the place of performance in Madison. Points of contact for the contract include Orlando Melendez and Natalie B. Colvin at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, reflecting NASA’s commitment to pioneering plant growth systems in space to support sustained crop production on the ISS.
