This is a firm fixed-price purchase order contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Superconducting Systems Inc., a for-profit manufacturer of advanced superconducting magnet technologies. The $124,658 contract is a response to NASA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) solicitation topic S1.10, which called for the design and development of "low current superconducting magnets (3-4 Tesla at temperatures >15K)." The contract aims to produce a comprehensive design and build a partially shielded 3 Tesla high-temperature superconducting (HTS) adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration (ADR) magnet system capable of operating in the 30-40 Kelvin temperature range. This contract has a total small business set-aside designation.
