About this opportunity

NASA's Johnson Space Center issued a Special Notice inviting industry representatives to attend a Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) focused on highlighting six key center capabilities developed by the Crew and Thermal Systems Division, Software, Robotics, and Simulation Division, and Propulsion and Power Division. The virtual-only meeting was scheduled for September 11-12, 2025, and conducted via Microsoft Teams. The notice was originally posted on September 2, 2025, with a due date of September 10, 2025, and subsequently modified three times to update attachments and supporting documentation. The TIM covered Fire Emergency Equipment, Toilet Systems, Cold Stowage Systems, Exercise Systems, Vehicle Systems Management, and Modular IVA/EVA Battery technologies. This Special Notice represents NASA's effort to maintain transparent communication with industry partners regarding advanced spacecraft systems development.

The primary objective of the TIM was to provide a collaborative forum for discussing NASA JSC's high-value, high-impact systems capabilities and exploring potential industry partnerships for developing safe, reliable, and innovative human-rated spacecraft technologies. To participate, interested contractors were required to RSVP with all participant information to receive the meeting invitation and Microsoft Teams link. No specific eligibility restrictions were noted in the Special Notice; the meeting was open to industry attendees seeking to engage with NASA on these technological capabilities. Each capability received dedicated 45-minute presentation slots with subject matter experts, followed by question-and-answer sessions to facilitate detailed technical discussions. Supporting technical documentation, including presentations on Cold Stowage Systems, Fire Emergency Response Equipment, Vehicle Systems Management, and autonomous habitat development, were uploaded to SAM.gov for attendee review. The meeting represented a non-competitive information exchange intended to foster innovation and identify collaboration opportunities in critical human-rated spacecraft systems.

Background:

NASAs JSC's Crew and Thermal Systems Division (EC), Software, Robotics, and Simulation Division (ER), and Propulsion and Power Division (EP) invites industry to attend a Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM) to highlight the following center capabilities:

  • Fire Emergency Equipment (PFE, AGA, CBA) - Equipment to support the rapid mitigation of onboard emergency combustion events while crewed
  • Toilet Systems - Reliable and well-characterized devices that maintain/promote crew wellness with future extensibility
  • Cold Stowage Systems - Equipment to support the control of temperature-sensitive experimental payloads over specific thermal ranges for utilization
  • Exercise Systems (CMS/VIS) - Reliable and well-characterized devices that maintain and promote crew wellness
  • Vehicle Systems Management - Optimal control paradigm for resources and fault management, with scalable architecture that maximizes functionality and safety
  • Modular IVA/EVA Battery - Safe storage and delivery of electrical battery power

Purpose:

This TIM will highlight several high-value, high-impact NASA JSC systems capabilities and discuss the benefits and drivers for collaboration on those capabilities. The intent of this TIM is not to convey all current capabilities, but to provide a forum for discussion on select capabilities. This event supports NASA’s effort to maintain open communication with industry for the development of safe, reliable, and innovative human-rated spacecraft.

Attendance:

This TIM will support VIRTUAL ONLY attendees. Please RSVP with all participants information to be sent a meeting invitation and link.
