About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center awarded a $85,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to Edward Buiel Consulting LLC, operating as Coulometrics, on June 6, 2025, for the development of robust separators and plastic current collectors in 21700 lithium-ion cells. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by October 4, 2025, with performance occurring in Chattanooga, Tennessee. This procurement was issued as a sole-source contract under Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), reflecting NASA's determination that Coulometrics possesses unique technical capabilities for this specialized work. The company will design and fabricate cell groups capable of tolerating internal short circuits caused by nail penetration, eliminating fragile winding processes for ceramic separators while testing alternative polymer layers for current collector applications.
Under this contract, Coulometrics will produce 3 to 5 cell groups per iteration, with up to 10 groups total, and conduct nail penetration testing at 100 percent state of charge. The company will deliver weekly progress updates, cell build plans, formation data, and specified cell quantities to NASA Johnson Space Center within four months of contract initiation. NASA will provide complementary analytical support through calorimetry, high-speed radiography, and tomography analysis to assess cell safety and performance. This award represents continuation of Coulometrics' established relationship with NASA, having received over $577,000 in battery development contracts since 2021, all focused on advancing lithium-ion cell safety and performance for aerospace applications.
