The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center awarded a $9.3 million Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Paragon Space Development Corporation, a for-profit small business manufacturer, to provide sustaining services and hardware for the Brine Processor Assembly (BPA) on the International Space Station (ISS). The BPA is a critical life support system that recovers water from urine and other sources, supporting NASA's human spaceflight exploration objectives. Under this IDC, Paragon has been issued multiple firm-fixed-price delivery orders to review designs, conduct integration testing, build and deliver replacement parts, and plan for spare parts and consumables for the BPA system. These task orders, which do not have set-aside designations, range in value from $84,117 to $993,557 and are performed at Paragon's facility in Tucson, Arizona. The contract work spans from 2021 through 2026, enabling NASA to maintain and support the BPA system on the ISS.
The delivery orders issued under this IDC provide a comprehensive range of sustaining services for the BPA, including reviewing designs, conducting integration testing, building and delivering replacement parts, and planning for spare parts and consumables. These firm-fixed-price contracts, issued under the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase III program, allow Paragon to leverage its expertise as a premier provider of environmental controls and life support systems for extreme environments to support NASA's critical ISS systems and advance human spaceflight exploration.
