Statement of Work

Title:

Technology Transfer Ideation Studio

I. Background:

As a segment of NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate [STMD] Technology Transfer Program, NASA T2X accelerates commercialization by de-risking innovation through entrepreneurship and focused partnerships and initiatives to launch NASA technology-derived startups. T2X envisions prosperous NASA-infused tech startup ecosystems across the U.S. and leadership in government entrepreneurial efforts, leading to economic impact as evidenced by new company formation, new job creation, and new products launched. The NASA T2X program supports the technology transfer mission to ensure that innovations developed for exploration and discovery are broadly available, maximizing the benefit to the Nation.

The Technology Transfer Ideation Studio supports T2X goals by providing novel approaches to commercialization of NASA innovations available for licensing. The Technology Transfer Ideation Studio is an innovative program designed to provide services that include, but are not limited to, entrepreneurial training, community-based projects, and ideation initiatives to further ready technology for market entry.

The Technology Transfer Ideation Studio engages with diverse community development organizations to build economically and socially healthy urban and rural communities and places emphasis on supporting traditionally under-represented entrepreneurs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, contributing to NASA’s DEIA objectives. The Technology Transfer Ideation Studio works with budding entrepreneurs to identify terrestrial applications of high-potential federally funded technologies, identify high-potential markets for such technologies, and further ready such technologies for market entry.

II. Objectives:

For select NASA technologies in collaboration with entrepreneurial networks in specified communities, through Technology Transfer Ideation Studios (2), Promote the available use of technologies to under-represented entrepreneurs Identify terrestrial applications and evaluate commercialization potential Identify opportunities to further ready technologies for market entry Generate high-potential startup licensing opportunities Engage community with technology showcase

III. Scope of Work:

Contractor shall work in collaboration with NASA T2X program management to select high-potential NASA technologies for commercial evaluation. Contractor shall recruit entrepreneur teams, coaches, mentors, and provide applicable training to support 5 NASA technologies per Studio. Contractor shall coordinate the return of all deliverables to NASA. Contractor shall have practice and experience in the government sector and within technology transfer and NASA’s T2X program considered preferable.

IV. Deliverables:

Contractor shall provide all materials to support 5 (per Studio) NASA technology-based teams working on commercial potential evaluations. Contractor shall provide 2 Technology Transfer Ideation Studios, culminating with a technology showcase. Contractor shall secure showcase location. Contractor shall provide a final professional presentation for each selected technology.

Place of Performance:

Hybrid, Atlanta, Georgia (1), and New Orleans, Louisiana (1)

V. Period of Performance:

April 3, 2023 – October 30, 2023
