The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Johnson Space Center awarded a $25 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to STI Legacy, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business. The contract, which runs through March 30, 2028, is for the procurement of manufacturing and R&D products for use on low Earth orbit and deep space platforms. Under this IDC, NASA has issued eight task orders valued at over $7.5 million for a variety of services, including feasibility assessments, technology demonstrations, payload integration, additive manufacturing, tissue engineering, cryopreservation, real-time tissue sensing, failure investigations, and virtual tissue analog models. The work is being performed at STI Legacy's facility in Lexington, Kentucky, with no major subcontractors involved. STI Legacy is a subsidiary of the Kentucky Science and Technology Corporation, a non-profit organization focused on innovation and economic development. The contract aims to leverage STI Legacy's expertise in microgravity research to support NASA's ongoing and future space exploration missions, as well as to advance biomedical research with potential benefits for human health both in space and on Earth. The task orders issued under this IDC cover a range of specialized services, such as developing Virtual Astronaut Tissue Analog Response (AVATAR) missions, producing organs in space via volumetric additive manufacturing, conducting research on 3D bone marrow and liver tissue engineering, and investigating failure modes from previous cargo resupply missions. These task orders, valued between $55,781 and $4.97 million, utilize firm fixed-price pricing and do not involve any set-aside designations. The work performed under this contract is expected to contribute to NASA's goals for the International Space Station and support the agency's broader human spaceflight and biomedical research objectives.
