Specialized Packaging and Handling for Sensitive Materials

The contract mandates the design and supply of specialized protective packaging solutions tailored for aerogel-embedded fabric, ensuring protection against moisture absorption, mechanical damage, and contamination throughout transit. Critical requirements include vacuum sealing to maintain environmental integrity and the integration of shock monitoring technology to track and record any physical stress during transportation. This is an 8(a) sole source subcontract, awarded under NAICS code 561910, and was posted by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The solicitation closed on July 23, 2026, with a narrow seven-day window for responses, reflecting urgent operational needs. Performance of the work is expected to support NASA’s mission-critical materials handling, though the exact place of performance remains unspecified.
