About this opportunity
NASA's National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NASA/NSSC) has published a Special Notice seeking a market study on historical US aviation-related patents. This is a presolicitation notice for a sole source procurement, indicating that NASA intends to award the contract to a specific vendor but is accepting written submissions from interested organizations to determine whether to pursue competitive bidding instead. The opportunity was posted on March 17, 2026, with a very tight submission deadline of March 19, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. Interested parties must submit written capabilities and qualifications statements to the designated point of contact by this deadline. The procurement will be conducted under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures for commercial items and services. Performance will be located at NASA Headquarters, with work to be performed at the contractor's facility.
The primary objective of this market study is to analyze U.S. aviation-related patents filed since 1976 to identify transformative concepts and technological innovations that could be repurposed to improve aircraft speed, fuel efficiency, safety, and enable new markets and services. The contractor must deliver a comprehensive analysis over an eight-week period on a firm-fixed-price basis, with no travel required. Key deliverables include a complete Excel dataset of U.S. aviation patents compiled from authoritative sources such as the USPTO and Google Patents, patents organized into functional taxonomies covering airframe systems, propulsion, avionics, and sustainability, and a strategic analysis identifying technology trends, innovation opportunities, and synergies across patent clusters. The NAICS code assigned is 519290 (Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services), and the PSC category is R405 (Support - Professional: Operations Research/Quantitative Analysis). There are no specific stated eligibility restrictions, though contractors should be capable of performing complex data science and AI-driven patent analysis at a commercial level.
