About this award
NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $49,991 firm fixed-price purchase order to Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) on March 13, 2025, for research and development support under the Passive Fuel-Cell Surface-power System (PaCeSS) Engineering Innovation Fund initiative. This sole-source contract, which requires completion by September 30, 2025, engages TEES to model, predict, and report on the behavior of a two-phase thermosyphon-driven actuating radiator system. The procurement leverages TEES's proprietary technology for passive fuel cell temperature control without active mechanisms or wearing components. Key deliverables include a prototype actuator demonstration scheduled for delivery on May 15, 2025, and a comprehensive final technical report by the contract completion date, with integrated benchtop testing to be conducted at NASA Johnson Space Center.
The sole-source justification reflects the specialized nature of TEES's patented technology and the significant schedule impact—estimated at 12+ months—that would result from competitive re-sourcing. TEES, a state government entity and research institution within the Texas A&M University System, competes for federal contracts through full and open competition and maintains extensive experience delivering advanced engineering and scientific research across multiple federal agencies. This award involves no set-aside designation and places the work in College Station, Texas, with performance culminating in an integrated prototype demonstration and technical analysis supporting NASA's power generation and thermal management objectives.
