About this award

This federal contract award, valued at $2,710,286.00, was issued by the Shared Services Center to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) under a Cooperative Agreement. The goal of this project is to develop the technology required to provide absolute navigation and timing services in lunar orbit via optical-based tracking of surface features. UT Austin, a prominent public research university, will perform this work through its expertise in aerospace engineering, sensor technology, and advanced computational modeling. The contract has no set-aside designation, indicating UT Austin's broad capabilities to compete for federal opportunities across multiple technical domains. This award is associated with UT Austin's larger Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) valued at $14,525,424 for the Additive Manufacturing of Microsystems (AMME) program, which focuses on developing embedded, chipless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) sensor technology for structural health monitoring of additively manufactured parts.
