About this IDV
NASA's Ames Research Center awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement to Kratos Sre, Inc. on November 7, 2022, with a $7 million ceiling for material property testing of thermal protection systems supporting the Science Mission Directorate.
Work is performed in San Diego, California. The BPA procures high-accuracy material property characterization of NASA-provided thermal protection system materials, ranging from low-density conformable materials to fully densified composites, including thermal conductivity, specific heat, thermal expansion, tensile and compression strength, shear strength, and gas permeability testing. Services support critical projects including the Mars Sample Return Earth Entry System Aeroshell Thermal Protection System, PICA-D, Conformal PICA, Orion/Artemis, and Entry Systems and Technology Division Internal Research and Development initiatives. The period of performance runs through November 6, 2027.
Kratos Sre, Inc. operates under the Kratos Defense & Rocket Support Services Division and does business as TLA Associates. The procurement carries no small business set-aside; the original award was made under sole-source authority citing only one responsible source available.
Five BPA calls have been issued under this vehicle. BPA Call #1, awarded November 8, 2022, was valued at $2.597 million with completion through September 30, 2026.
