This is a $95,500 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Flawless Photonics, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business and manufacturer of advanced optical fibers. The contract is for the provision of small samples of optical fiber manufactured on the International Space Station, to enable independent government (Department of Defense) characterization testing of the fiber performance compared to terrestrially manufactured fiber. This contract is not set aside. The purchase order is part of a broader NASA effort, the In Space Production Applications (INSPA) program, focused on the fabrication of high-quality optical fiber preforms in microgravity conditions. Flawless Photonics has also received other federal contract and grant awards from NASA and the U.S. Air Force to support its work in developing next-generation optical fiber technologies optimized for space environments.
