About this award
Edward Buiel Consulting LLC, operating as Coulometrics, was awarded a $85,000 firm fixed-price purchase order by NASA's Shared Services Center on September 19, 2025, for the design, assembly, screening, and delivery of 4680 lithium-ion battery cells with specialized specifications. The contract encompasses 61 cells total, with 12 cells implanted with internal short circuit devices for testing purposes. The cells must meet rigorous performance standards including greater than 265 Wh/kg specific energy, a minimum 25Ah capacity, and precise dimensional tolerances of 46.00±0.2mm diameter by 80.00±0.2mm height. Work is to be performed in Chattanooga, Tennessee, with completion required by December 9, 2025. No set-aside designation was used for this procurement.
This sole-source award under FAR Parts 12 and 13 reflects NASA's recognition of Coulometrics' specialized expertise in advanced battery cell design and safety mitigation for aerospace applications. The contractor has an established track record with NASA, having received multiple contracts totaling over $577,000 since 2021, all focused on developing lithium-ion battery technologies that address thermal runaway risks and enhance cell safety for space missions. The procurement justification emphasized that developing comparable capabilities would require competitors to invest over $600,000 and more than 1.5 years in development, making competitive acquisition impractical for the agency's near-term requirements.
