About this award
This federal contract award to Northeastern University, a private research university in Boston, Massachusetts, is for the development of a "Volatile-Sensing Array for Planetary Onsite Research (VAPOR)" instrument. The $105,094.54 grant, awarded on October 1, 2021, will fund the creation of a novel, versatile, and integrated in-situ chemical sensing instrument capable of unambiguously identifying target trace gases on planets, moons, and asteroids, and detecting species down to parts per trillion levels.
The contract is being funded by a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center. While the award is not set aside for any specific business category, Northeastern University has a strong track record of federal contract and grant work, including advanced research and development in areas such as engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence, and quantum technologies. The university has also secured an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDV) contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) related to the SENTRY project, which focuses on soft target security and protection.
