NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a purchase order to Composite Technology Development, Inc. for cryogenic mechanical testing of composite materials, effective July 9, 2026, with a ceiling of $150,000 and completion by September 3, 2026. Work is performed at Lafayette, Colorado. CTD will conduct mechanical testing of two composite systems—thermoplastic T1100 carbon fiber/TC1225 low-melt polyaryletherketone and thermoset T1100/3960 epoxy resin—at three temperature conditions: room temperature, 20 Kelvin (liquid hydrogen), and 111 Kelvin (liquid natural gas). Testing encompasses 104 coupons across three blocks per ASTM standards D3039, D638, Modified D5335, and D5045, including laminate tension, neat resin tension and thermal expansion, and fracture toughness testing. CTD receives prefabricated panels and plaques, cuts and prepares coupons with photographic documentation and tabbing per specification, and delivers complete test reports with raw data in Excel or CSV format, fractured specimens, and a summary report within 6–8 weeks of material receipt. Payment is structured in three milestone-based blocks corresponding to completion of each testing phase. The procurement originated from a sole-source commercial item acquisition posted June 15, 2026, with a capability challenge period deadline of June 18, 2026.
