Traceability and Cell Marking Services

The contract requires the implementation of a standardized marking system for individual lithium-ion cells to ensure full traceability throughout their lifecycle, with each cell clearly labeled to identify its design specifications, original manufacturer, and date code. This marking must be durable, legible, and compatible with existing inspection and inventory protocols to support accurate recordkeeping and accountability. All marking processes and resulting data must be systematically documented and maintained to enable annual reporting, ensuring compliance with internal and external audit requirements and supporting long-term reliability and safety standards for aerospace applications. The work is to be performed at a designated location in Houston, Texas, with a response deadline of April 30, 2026, and is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 332996. The procurement is managed by the NASA Shared Services Center on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, indicating the critical nature of the deliverables for NASA missions and operations. While no set-aside requirements or point of contact details are provided, the tight submission window suggests urgency in securing a qualified vendor capable of delivering a robust, scalable traceability solution aligned with NASA’s operational and security standards.
