About this opportunity
NASA's Shared Services Center issued a presolicitation notice on August 12, 2026, announcing a sole-source intent to award a contract to the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston for analyzing brain MRIs to measure brain volumetrics and cerebrospinal fluid hydrodynamics; the notice invites interested organizations to submit written capability statements by August 17, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. Central Time to challenge the sole-source determination.
The work supports NASA's research into Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS) and will be performed at McGovern Medical School, Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Imaging, in Houston, Texas. The contract covers a base period from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2028, with analysis of up to 20 MRI datasets, followed by an option year from October 1, 2028, through September 30, 2029, analyzing up to 22 additional datasets. The vendor will use analytical methods documented in peer-reviewed research, specifically the Kramer et al. 2024 methodology published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, and will coordinate with NASA's Johnson Space Center Cardiovascular and Vision Laboratory. Deliverables include analyzed volumetrics data, CSF hydrodynamics interpretation, and annual reporting to support SANS milestones. The procurement is classified under NAICS 611310 (Educational Support Services) and executed under FAR Part 12 commercial acquisition procedures. Oral communications are not acceptable; interested parties should contact Cara Craft (cara.s.craft@nasa.gov) or Will Garrett (Will.c.garrett@nasa.gov).
