About this IDV
NASA's Langley Research Center awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract to Anasphere, Inc., a small business, for $37 million on October 1, 2022, as a single-award vehicle to design, manufacture, and test gas generator inflation systems for inflatable aerodynamic decelerator (IAD) technology.
Place of performance includes Manhattan and Belgrade, Montana. The contract supports Track C of NASA's IAD program, which focuses on gas generation systems for entry, descent, and landing applications in space exploration. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2027.
The originating pre-solicitation, posted November 8, 2021, contemplated multiple indefinite-delivery contracts across three technical tracks: Track A (inflatable structures), Track B (flexible thermal protection systems), and Track C (gas generator inflation systems). Track C was set aside for small businesses, with up to two awards anticipated, though the agency reserved the right to award up to six contracts for the track. NAICS code 541715 applies.
Under this IDC, NASA issued a $284,150 cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order to Anasphere on May 24, 2023, for solid-state gas generator development, completed September 1, 2023, at the Manhattan location. A second delivery order for $3.46 million, issued September 24, 2025, on a firm-fixed-price basis, extended Track C work through June 30, 2027, with performance in Belgrade, Montana.
