About this award
NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a purchase order to Wichita State University for $128,481.50 on August 26, 2026, to manufacture thermoplastic composite tanks as a pathfinder effort reducing fabrication risk. Performance is located at Wichita, Kansas, with ultimate completion by February 28, 2027. The work involves manufacturing two T1100/LM-PAEK cryogenic tanks (each 18 inches in diameter, 36–40 inches long) using in-situ consolidation on NASA-supplied mandrels, plus three flat panels for permeability testing. Tanks include composite or stainless steel support fittings and metallic fill/drain fittings; inspection encompasses pre-inspection, first-article review, in-process consolidation monitoring, post-process X-ray CT scanning, and dimensional inspection. The procurement was sole-source under FAR 12.102(a), issued from a special notice posted August 20, 2026, with capabilities due August 24, 2026.
