About this opportunity
NASA's IT Procurement Office issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for Atlas Devices to provide Counterweight Offload Astronaut Sensor, Telemetry and Electronics Rig (COASTER) Support Services under contract 80TECH25P0008, which was awarded on September 24, 2025. The services encompass COASTER operation, test initiation, equipment checks, system maintenance, and Test Readiness Review support for testing NASA space suits in simulated lunar and Martian gravity environments at Johnson Space Center from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. NASA justified the sole-source award to Atlas Devices because they are the only producer of human-rated articulated jib arm sensor and suspension systems and possess unique knowledge from intensive studies of xEMU (Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit) requirements, making them the exclusive provider capable of supporting telemetry-based gravity offload testing. The acquisition supports NASA's Extravehicular Activity and Human Surface Mobility Program and is critical for absorbing additional Elevated Suit Pressure testing initiatives while mitigating risks of delayed testing for the Artemis III mission. Although NASA published a notice on Sam.gov from July 10-25, 2025, no other companies expressed interest in the requirement, and the contract award amount was not disclosed in the available documentation.
