About this award
NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a $75,410 firm fixed-price purchase order to Noqsi Aerospace LTD on March 15, 2026, for the development of the Quantitative Elemental Reconnaissance Instrument (QuERI), a two-channel Silicon Drift Detector system designed for spectroscopy and timing applications in space-based scientific missions. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, requires Noqsi Aerospace to translate scientific requirements into comprehensive engineering specifications, develop electronic architecture and detailed schematics, prepare bills of materials, conduct testing and characterization, and deliver complete engineering documentation. The work will leverage FPGA technology to replace microcontroller components while building upon heritage design principles from the NICER mission, with performance occurring at Noqsi Aerospace's facility in Billerica, Massachusetts and coordinated with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center through September 30, 2026.
The procurement was initially contemplated as a sole-source acquisition under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 12 (commercial acquisitions), with the government inviting capability submissions through April 17, 2026 to determine whether competitive bidding should proceed. Noqsi Aerospace's selection reflects its demonstrated expertise in advanced electronics design and silicon drift detector systems development for NASA missions. The approximately six-and-a-half-month performance period represents a critical development effort supporting NASA's scientific instrumentation portfolio and broader space exploration objectives.
