About this file

This Statement of Work details NASA's requirement to procure a MOVES SLC medical oxygen concentrator system from Thornhill Medical for use in future space exploration missions beyond Low Earth Orbit. The requirement stems from NASA's need to move away from traditional compressed oxygen tanks, which are impractical for extended missions due to supply limitations and fire hazards in smaller exploration habitats.

The deliverables include the MOVES SLC system (a portable, battery-powered unit combining oxygen concentrator, ventilator, suction, and vital signs monitoring), two Reid handles, two battery packs (providing 2.5-4 hours of operation), a remote screen, a comprehensive starter pack of medical supplies and accessories, and in-person training for up to 10 NASA personnel. The training will be conducted at Johnson Space Center by a Specialist and Technician from Toronto over three days. All equipment deliverables must be received by March 20, 2025, with training to be scheduled in the subsequent weeks. The system was selected following a crowd-sourcing trade study that identified it as the best commercially available option for NASA's needs.

Title A Statement of Work for the Procurement of a Medical Oxygen Concentrator

Introduction The State-of-the-Art (SOA) method to provide medical oxygen to crewmembers in-flight relies on pre-positioned tanks of compressed oxygen, combined with a basic pressure regulator and ventilator system to control the delivery of the oxygen to the crewmember in need. This method cannot be used for extended exploration missions beyond Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for two key reasons: 1) this method relies on tanks of compressed oxygen to be supplied from Earth; and 2) unlike the International Space Station, future exploration habitats will be much smaller, and the excess oxygen supplied by the SOA method will result in an enriched oxygen atmosphere which poses an increased fire hazard. Therefore, NASA is pursuing alternative methods of providing reliable, enriched oxygen for crewmembers that do not rely on tanks of compressed oxygen. The most promising method is to use oxygen concentrators, which have been used widely by industry in a variety of settings. An oxygen concentrator filters the nitrogen from air, which contains 21% O2 by volume, to produce a product stream greater than 90% O2 by volume, suitable for medical applications. NASA previously funded a crowd-sourcing trade study effort by an independent contractor, and the results of that trade study effort indicated that the best commercially-available option for NASA to consider was the MOVES SLC, built and sold by Thornhill Medical. NASA intends to procure one MOVES SLC medical oxygen system, appropriate accessories, and receive in-person training from the contractor subject matter experts (SME). Upon receipt of the medical oxygen system and training, NASA will conduct a series of performance and environmental tests to evaluate its feasibility for human spaceflight.

Deliverables The contractor will provide the following six items:

1. MOVES SLC System, Top Level

a. The MOVES SLC combines an oxygen concentrator, a unique oxygen conserving ventilator, suction, and complete vital signs monitoring in a single, rugged, portable, battery-powered unit without the need for heavy, dangerous oxygen tanks. The system has additional capabilities to also be utilized remotely by a medical professional, as the need arises for immediate triages of the patient, allowing for real-time operations and adjustments.

2. MOVES SLC Reid Handles, 2-Pack

a. Reid grab handles are handles with an L-track single stud Ancra attachment that attaches onto the MOVES SLC system on both ends. They are used to assist with lifting the system by hand.

3. MOVES SLC Battery, 2-Pack

a. The battery consists of either a lithium polymer or lithium-ion battery, which is dependent on application. The MOVES SLC will operate on a set of two batteries for approximately 2.5 hours minimum. Under typical clinical use (such as ventilator and monitors running, concentrator on for 30 seconds / off for 90 seconds, assuming no leaks) the MOVES SLC should operate at least 4 hours on a set of two batteries. Battery run time is highly dependent on the use of the oxygen concentrator or suction.

4. MOVES SLC Remote Screen

a. The remote screen offers the convenience of a secondary, portable monitor with a larger screen. It provides the user with the ability to remotely control the settings of the MOVES SLC system. It is attached via a remote screen connection cable (not wirelessly connected).

5. MOVES SLC Starter Pack,

a. This starter pack contains the following items:

Description Quantity Included Ventilator Cartridge, 12-pack 2 Suction Canister 800cc, 10-pack 2 Suction Wand, Yankauer, FDA, 10-pack 2 Pediatric Breathing System Filter, 50-pack 1 Suction Tube, Short, FDA, 10-pack 2 Suction Tube, Long, FDA, 10-pack 2 Ventilator Breathing Circuit, 12-pack 2 Invasive Blood Pressure Transducer, Disposable, 10-pack 2 ECG Adhesive Pads, 30-pack 10 Temperature Probe, Adult, 20-pack 1 Temperature Probe, Pediatric, 20-pack 1 Nasal Cannula, 50-pack 1 Hydrocarbon Filter, 6-pack 1 Ventilator Filter, 10-pack 1 Ventilator Cartridge Liner, 10-pack 1 Nafion Tube 1 Water Trap, 10-pack 1 Supplemental O2 Sample Line, 10-pack 1

6. MOVES SLC Training

a. The all-inclusive training is comprised of training program costs, flight, travel, transportation, and accommodation for trainers, and shipping costs for training materials and equipment.

b. Training will consist of both a Specialist and a Technician training up to 10 people on the MOVES SLC and answering any questions the customer may have. This consist of both traveling from Toronto, Ontario, Canada to Houston, Texas, USA, with a daily rate of 3 days. One day is for travel to lodging that is near the training site location at the Johnson Space Center; the next two days will consist of training the customers on the MOVES SLC with the basic operations and capabilities of the system.

Schedule NASA to receive Deliverables 1 – 5 no later than March 20, 2025. Upon receipt of the equipment, Deliverable 6, training will be coordinated in to occur in the subsequent weeks.
