Small Satellite Bus Supply

NASA is seeking a subcontractor to supply or develop a modular small satellite bus capable of integrating power, communications, attitude control, and thermal management systems that meet NASA’s launch constraints. The bus must be designed for compatibility with existing NASA launch vehicles and mission profiles, ensuring reliable performance in space environments while adhering to strict size, weight, and power limitations. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 336413, which pertains to guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing, and is open for responses until September 10, 2026. The project requires a proven ability to deliver flight-ready hardware with rigorous quality and validation standards, including documentation and testing to satisfy NASA's technical and safety requirements. While the point of contact and place of performance details are not specified, proposals must demonstrate technical feasibility, scalable design, and experience in small satellite systems development. There is no set-aside designation, making this opportunity available to all eligible entities, and submissions should align with NASA’s broader goals for affordable, high-performance small satellite missions.
