Space-Grade Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Power Management Systems

The contract seeks the design or supply of compact, low-size weight and power space-qualified power delivery systems tailored for spacecraft camera operations, with a specific focus on Power over Ethernet technology. These systems must meet rigorous space-environment standards, ensuring reliability under extreme conditions such as radiation, thermal cycling, and vacuum exposure while maintaining minimal footprint and power consumption. The solution must integrate seamlessly with existing or emerging spacecraft avionics architectures to enable efficient power and data transmission to onboard imaging payloads without requiring separate wiring or power sources. Performance of this work is centered in Pasadena, California, with a submission deadline of July 23, 2026, and the opportunity is classified as a subcontract under NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The North American Industry Classification System code 335999 indicates the scope covers other electrical equipment and component manufacturing, reflecting the need for specialized, non-standardized hardware development. The procurement is intended to support next-generation space missions requiring high-performance, lightweight power management solutions, and applicants are expected to demonstrate proven experience in space-qualified electronics, compliance with NASA technical standards, and the ability to deliver flight-ready hardware within tight constraints.
