About this opportunity
NASA's IT Procurement Office published this Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice to award a modification to existing order 80TECH25PA008 with Atlas Devices for critical modifications to the Counterweight Offload Astronaut Sensor, Telemetry and Electronics Rig (COASTER). The modifications include structural adjustments to fit the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility, enhanced system responsiveness, real-time force measurement capabilities, and increased load capacity from 750 pounds to 850 pounds to accommodate pressurized space suit flight hardware for the Artemis III mission. NASA justified the sole source award by determining that Atlas Devices is the only producer of human-rated articulated jib arm style sensor and suspension systems and possesses proprietary knowledge of the COASTER system necessary for these modifications. The contract was awarded to Atlas Devices on August 6, 2025, though the contract value remains undisclosed. The period of performance extends from the award date through October 30, 2025, supporting critical gravity offload testing at Johnson Space Center. NASA published a notice on Sam.gov on June 26, 2025, but received no responses from potential alternative vendors.
