About this award
The University of Colorado, through its Office of Contracts and Grants Division, received a $529,045.77 firm fixed-price delivery order from NASA's Johnson Space Center for mission integration and operations support for the C. Elegans Biological Investigation on Microbiome Effect in Space (C BIOMES). This delivery order, awarded on June 12, 2023, with completion scheduled for February 20, 2027, represents specialized work to be performed at the University of Colorado's Boulder, Colorado campus. The contract was awarded without a set-aside designation, reflecting the university's competitive standing. This delivery order falls under the university's broader $15 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with NASA's Johnson Space Center for Low Earth Orbit Space Life Science Research Platform and associated mission integration and operations, which provides flexible mechanisms for delivering research capabilities and mission support services essential to NASA's space-based scientific investigations.
The C BIOMES investigation focuses on understanding microbiome effects in microgravity environments using C. elegans (nematodes) as model organisms, contributing to NASA's broader life sciences research objectives in space. The University of Colorado's role encompasses mission integration and operational support necessary to execute this biological investigation, leveraging the institution's extensive experience in space life science research platforms and microgravity research payload operations. As a prominent public research institution with a substantial portfolio of federal contracts and grants spanning NASA, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and other agencies, the University of Colorado demonstrates significant technical competency in complex federally funded research services and space-based scientific investigations.
