This federal contract award, issued by the Shared Services Center (an agency under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration), is a $99,532 cooperative agreement with Oklahoma State University (OSU) to conduct research on the "Lubrication Mechanisms of Friction Modifiers Under Electric Field: Towards Enabling Ultra-Low Viscosity Lubricants for Electrified Vertical Takeoff and Landing Vehicles." This project, which has an ultimate completion date of July 31, 2025, does not have a set-aside designation. As a public land grant research university, OSU has extensive expertise in areas like engineering, agriculture, and life sciences, which the agency is leveraging to support this research initiative focused on developing advanced lubricant technologies for electric aircraft. The contract award is part of the agency's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) program, which focuses on advancing capabilities for next-generation air mobility solutions.
