About this award
NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center awarded a $3.03 million firm fixed-price definitive contract to Sierra Space Corp for the design, manufacturing, and development testing of low leakage valve concepts for liquid hydrogen in-space applications, with performance scheduled through October 25, 2026. The contract supports deep space transportation initiatives and was awarded without a set-aside designation on a full and open competitive basis. Sierra Space Corp, an aerospace technology manufacturer headquartered in Louisville, Colorado, will lead the effort with subcontract support from Hooper Corporation for vacuum chamber manufacturing and CDA Intercorp LLC for hardware components. This award aligns with NASA's broader exploration objectives in life support and propulsion system technologies, building on the agency's sustained investment in advanced cryogenic systems for future lunar and deep space missions.
The contract originated from a pre-solicitation notice posted in November 2023 by Marshall Space Flight Center, which sought multiple sources to develop three distinct liquid hydrogen valve designs: a 3-inch isolation valve, an 8-inch pre-valve, and a 3-inch tank vent and relief valve. The anticipated contract value of $3.03 million falls within the pre-solicitation's estimated range of $3–5 million for the base period and option periods, reflecting the technical complexity of cryogenic valve development and testing. Sierra Space Corp's selection demonstrates its established capability in advanced aerospace component manufacturing and its track record as a trusted NASA partner across multiple programs spanning life support systems, propulsion technologies, and lunar logistics applications.
