About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center awarded a $67,485 firm fixed price purchase order to the University of Texas at Austin on February 20, 2025, for continued collaboration on biomanufacturing research. This sole source award, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2025, represents a continuation of UT Austin's work under the B-SURE Program to develop engineered microbial strains for producing lactic acid and polylactic acid. The research focuses on genetic engineering of microbial hosts including E. coli, S. cerevisiae, and P. pastoris to enhance lactic acid biosynthesis and enable conversion to polylactic acid for 3D printing applications, with tasks including strain evaluation using specific feedstocks and scaling production in bioreactor settings.
This procurement was conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation Parts 12 and 13 for commercial items and services without a set-aside designation. UT Austin's selection as the sole source contractor reflects the university's unique capabilities and proprietary development of radiation-tolerant genetically modified organisms from previous research. The award represents a child contract issued from the originating solicitation posted on February 13, 2025, with work performed at UT Austin's Austin, Texas location. Given the university's established expertise in advanced manufacturing, materials science, and federal research partnerships across multiple agencies, this engagement aligns with UT Austin's demonstrated capabilities in cutting-edge research and development supporting federal government missions.
