About this award

NASA's Shared Services Center awarded a purchase order to Three-Dimensional Services, Inc. for $193,488 on August 27, 2026, covering development and build of an injection mold design for the inner sun visor of the Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit (xEMU) spacesuit helmet. Three-Dimensional Services is a small disadvantaged business manufacturer of precision injection-molded and metal-fabricated components based in Rochester Hills, Michigan, where performance occurs.

The inner sun visor is a 60-degree wedge measuring 12.14 inches wide with 7.586-inch radius, subject to stringent optical and durability specifications: optical imperfections limited to 0.015"–0.035" diameter, haze not exceeding 2%, minimum 82% visible light transmission, refractive error not exceeding 0.125 D, and impact resistance to 125-pound contact loads and 2-inch steel ball impacts at 1.4 ft/s. The order includes contractor assessment of injection-molding feasibility, mold design and build, and delivery of 10 prototype inner sun visors. Work concludes December 17, 2026. This is the third consecutive NASA xEMU spacesuit component order to Three-Dimensional Services under sole-source authority recognizing the vendor's unique capabilities in precision aerospace polycarbonate injection molding.
