This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center to Jackson Bond Enterprises, LLC, a small business manufacturer of aerospace products. The $91.975 million IDC is for the design, manufacturing, and testing of flexible thermal protection systems for inflatable aerodynamic decelerators (IADs), including support for aeroshell integration and testing. This work supports NASA's efforts to advance entry, descent, and landing capabilities for space exploration missions. The contract has a 10-year period of performance and includes both cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price task orders. Several delivery orders have already been issued under the IDC, including a $1.697 million order for flexible thermal protection system design, manufacturing, and testing, and a $491,884 order for aeroshell integration and testing. These awards demonstrate Jackson Bond Enterprises' key role in developing critical technologies for NASA's IAD program. The IDC was originally solicited through a draft pre-solicitation notice that sought proposals for multiple IDIQ contracts covering IAD design, manufacturing, and testing. The work was divided into three technical tracks, with Tracks B and C set aside for small businesses. This approach aims to maximize competition and allow for multiple technical concepts. The final RFP was released in January 2022, and the contract was awarded in October 2022 to support NASA's long-term goals for advancing spacecraft landing systems.
