About this opportunity
NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) on February 10, 2026, to support the non-competitive award of modification P00019 to contract 80MSFC21CA010 to Honeywell International Inc. for in-scope prework necessary to develop a Flight-Like Advanced Materials Reactor (FLAMR) technology demonstration system focused on hydrogen recovery technology using methane pyrolysis. The prework encompasses flight requirements definition, flight-like system component definition, mass/power/volume trade options, integration studies, and flight-like system balance of plant concept development, with the objective of increasing oxygen recovery from 50% to greater than 70% for deep space exploration missions. Honeywell was determined to be the sole responsible source based on its exclusive development of this proprietary methane pyrolysis technology through prior NASA contracts, its assembled team with unique institutional knowledge, and proprietary technologies developed at company expense, with market research confirming no competing vendors utilize this technology in the required manner. The contract period of performance runs from August 2, 2021 through August 1, 2026, with the modification awarded on September 30, 2025. Although the specific award value for modification P00019 was not disclosed in the notice, the justification demonstrates that the statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1 was properly applied, supported by a synopsis posted to SAM.gov from August 13-22, 2025, which generated no competing sources expressing interest.
