About this award

Marshall Space Flight Center awarded a $6.2 million definitive contract to Honeywell International Inc. for development of a flight-like advanced material reactor (FLAMR) unit supporting hydrogen recovery by carbon vapor infiltration technology, with an ultimate completion date of January 31, 2027, and contract award date of August 2, 2021, under cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing with no set-aside.

Place of performance is Phoenix, Arizona. The originating solicitation sought continued development and acquisition of flight-representative FLAMR units engineered for low mass and elevated-temperature operation, designed for integration into the Methane Pyrolysis Brassboard skid and addressing technical challenges outlined in NASA Research Announcement NNH14ZOA001N-14GCD-C2-Phase II. The procurement was issued as a within-scope modification to existing contract 80MSFC21CA010 under FAR 6.302-1 sole-source authority, citing that only Honeywell holds proprietary technology for hydrogen recovery by carbon vapor deposition.

Subcontractors include Precision Combustion Inc. (conducting reactor development tasks and test reporting as of May 2026), Zircar Ceramics Inc. (center insulation, November 2024), Meyer Tool & Manufacturing Inc. (vacuum housing, August 2024), and Kyocera International Inc. (silicon nitride retort lid, April 2024). Work is classified under NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and PSC category AR13 (Space R&D Services).
