About this award
Glimpse Engineering, Inc. was awarded a $38,000 purchase order by the NASA Shared Services Center on February 9, 2026, to conduct computed tomography (CT) scanning and advanced algorithmic analysis on lithium-ion battery cells. The contract, which is not set-aside and carries a firm fixed price, requires performance at Somerville, Massachusetts, with an ultimate completion date of April 8, 2026. The work involves CT scanning of approximately 200 Panasonic NCR18650GA battery cells at 16-micrometer resolution or better, with analysis to identify defects including can wall thickness variations, jellyroll buckling, core circularity issues, electrode overhang, housing damage, and metallic contamination. This advanced screening process supports NASA's efforts to ensure the quality and reliability of battery cells for aerospace applications.
The solicitation was issued as a special notice presolicitation synopsis on February 2, 2026, with a submission deadline of February 5, 2026, under NASA's intent to conduct a potential sole-source award to the awardee. The procurement falls under NAICS code 541715 for Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, and was conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation Parts 12 and 13 for commercial items and services. The required work must be completed within six weeks of the Authority to Proceed, with deliverables consisting of automated analysis reports on the specified cell defect categories.
