About this award
This federal contract award, valued at $135,000.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech), a minority-serving, Hispanic-serving, public research university located in Socorro, New Mexico. The contract is for research related to the detection of past or present Martian life through the study of gypsum, a hydrated sulfate mineral prevalent on the Martian surface. New Mexico Tech, which frequently serves as both a prime contractor and subcontractor on federal research and development projects across numerous agencies, will utilize its expertise in areas such as planetary science, space systems, and earth sciences to perform this work. The contract does not have a set-aside designation. This award is not associated with a larger indefinite delivery vehicle, but New Mexico Tech does hold a $92.98 million Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory for electronic attack and cyber environment testing services.
