About this award
NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $62,953 firm fixed-price purchase order to Symmetry Resources, Inc., a small disadvantaged business based in Arab, Alabama, on July 2, 2024. The contract calls for comprehensive lithium-ion cell characterization testing on 240 cylindrical cells from three different manufacturers, including rate versus temperature discharge testing using adiabatic calorimetry, cycle life testing, capacity and energy versus rate testing, and acceptance testing. Additionally, the contractor will provide 156 hours of cell and battery design consulting services. The work is scheduled for completion by December 30, 2025, and was awarded as an 8(a) sole source contract, indicating that NASA determined Symmetry Resources, Inc. to be the sole provider capable of delivering these specialized testing services.
Symmetry Resources, Inc. brings substantial expertise to this engagement, having served as NASA's primary battery testing contractor since 2020 with cumulative contract awards exceeding $650,000. The company specializes in advanced lithium-ion battery testing and analysis, with a technical focus on supporting NASA's evaluation of cell technologies for potential use in future manned space missions. The procurement was conducted under simplified acquisition procedures (FAR Parts 12 and 13) and represents part of NASA's ongoing effort to characterize and validate lithium-ion cell designs for aerospace applications. The non-competed sole source award reflects the contractor's established technical capabilities in battery research, testing methodologies, and design consulting that are essential to NASA's exploration and spacecraft development initiatives.
Description
Three cylindrical cells designs evaluated with rate VS temperature discharge testing (using adiabatic calorimetry), cycle life testing, capacity and energy VS rate testing, and acceptance testing a new boxes of 2 cell designs (100 and 130 cells).
