This federal contract award is for Nanoracks, LLC to provide "Nanoracks Concierge Services" to NASA's Johnson Space Center. The contract, valued at $276,375, supports the operation and utilization of the NanoRacks III research platform aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

Nanoracks has extensive experience supporting NASA and Department of Defense technology demonstrations and science missions on the ISS, including providing CubeSat integration and deployment services, developing trash deployment systems, and supporting educational initiatives. This contract is a follow-on to an earlier Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I award that allowed Nanoracks to develop its cost-effective research platform. The company now offers a "standard menu of services" to customers for on-orbit operations, analysis, and return of payloads from the ISS. There is no set-aside designation for this contract, which has an ultimate completion date of May 18, 2017.

Nanoracks concierge services previously, nanoracks was awarded a sbir phase I contract, NNX11CH56P, for an ISS U. S. National laboratory nanoracks III facility for use by commercial and government customers. Those funds allowed nanoracks to launch a cost effective research platform. In the next stage, nanoracks self-funded further development, manufacture, and test of the system that includes add-on services allowing for ease in use and data communications. The nanoracks (NR) ecosystem on the U.S. National lab on international space station (ISS) is built around structural, power, data, and operational standards evolved for and employed in the nanoracks frame III facility this entire hardware infrastructure is the nanoracks III system. IT is a `commercial service which allows for on-orbit operations, on-orbit analysis, and return, when required, of the payload and/or research results. Nanoracks is offering the listed development, integration and research services at set low costs and via a standard menu of services that covers users beginning-to-end needs. These processes for our customers have been developed, refined and implemented under its space act agreement somd 6355 with NASA's U.S. National laboratory. As nanoracks continues to grow its on-orbit station infrastructure in response to demand from its commercial, educational and NASA clients, IT will continue to innovate, seeking to reduce costs (for example via its familiarity with stella) and shorten the time from the inception of an idea until research results are in the hands of the experimenter. Nanoracks will also seek to reduce the astronaut time needed to accomplish research goals via its operations design and use of stella and next generation nanoracks research platforms. Nanoracks concierge services include project-specific integration and operations support on an as needed basis in response to specific requirements as an on-call implementation partner to NASA that will increase the ease, efficiency, and effectiveness of technology demonstrations and science investigations on board the ISS.
