About this award
NASA's National Shared Services Center awarded a purchase order to the University of Alabama valued at $90,600 on July 27, 2026, for the Regolith Simulant Characterization-to-Process Linkage Study (REGLINK), a regolith simulant material behavior investigation supporting NASA's In-Space Manufacturing project.
Performance occurs in Huntsville, Alabama. The work comprises seven tasks: preparing and classifying regolith simulant feedstock; executing Additive Friction Stir Deposition trials across a defined parameter matrix; producing test coupons for mechanical and microstructural evaluation; conducting advanced analysis including scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray computed tomography; correlating simulant properties with layer quality; participating in monthly technical meetings; and delivering a consolidated technical report. Deliverables include monthly progress updates, processing logs, mechanical property datasets, microstructure analysis packages, and a final technical report. The contract carries firm fixed price terms with an ultimate completion date of November 30, 2026. The procurement was conducted as sole-source under FAR Parts 13 and 12.102(a) non-commercial authority, with NASA's determination that the University of Alabama is the sole provider of the required REGLINK capability.
