Outpost Technologies, Inc., a small business specializing in advanced materials and components for aerospace and defense applications, was awarded a $199,321.73 firm fixed price purchase order by NASA's Shared Services Center on December 16, 2025. The contract, designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, calls for engineering study services to develop a conceptual design for a Gateway Quick Disconnect (GQDC) fluid coupler intended to support extravehicular activities and robotic servicing missions on NASA's Gateway space station. The GQDC represents a critical advancement over existing International Space Station designs, with the primary objective of achieving mass reduction while incorporating three flow passages and meeting stringent technical specifications for temperature ranges, leakage rates, pressure, and fluid compatibility. Under the six-month performance period, Outpost will deliver key technical documents including a GQDC Design Approach Report and an Assessment of GQDC Production Plan, alongside monthly project updates and a project kickoff meeting. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of June 16, 2026, will be performed in Huntsville, Alabama. While this study contract does not guarantee Outpost's selection for future Gateway hardware production, it positions the company to inform NASA's subsequent procurement and design decisions for the Gateway program, leveraging Outpost's proven track record in designing and manufacturing fluid transfer components for space applications, including prior work on stainless steel and titanium quick disconnects for NASA's Johnson Space Center.
