Noqsi Aerospace LTD

Noqsi Aerospace LTD, a for-profit aerospace electronics manufacturer based in Billerica, Massachusetts, designs and develops silicon drift detector systems and specialized instrumentation electronics for NASA scientific space missions as a prime contractor, operating exclusively on a full-and-open, non-set-aside basis. The vendor operates at a small scale — four federal prime awards totaling $318 thousand across a six-year window — with 100% customer concentration in NASA's Shared Services Center and no subcontract footprint.

Noqsi Aerospace's capability portfolio centers on advanced detector electronics and circuit board design for space-based scientific instruments. Three of four recent awards support development of the Quantitative Elemental Reconnaissance Instrument (QuERI), a two-channel Silicon Drift Detector system for spectroscopy and timing applications under NASA's Development and Advancement of Lunar Instrumentation (DALI) program. The vendor was awarded a $77.4 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order on January 8, 2024, for technical services including circuit board design, translation of scientific requirements into engineering specifications, electronic architecture development, and testing support through September 2024. NASA's Shared Services Center issued a follow-on $75.1 thousand purchase order on December 15, 2024, for continued SDD system electronics development through September 2025, and a third $75.4 thousand purchase order on March 15, 2026, extending the development effort through September 2026. All three QuERI awards explicitly cite Noqsi Aerospace's demonstrated expertise in silicon drift detector systems and heritage performance on NASA's NICER mission as the basis for sole-source award determinations under Federal Acquisition Regulation Parts 12 and 13 (commercial acquisitions). The one award outside the QuERI series appears in the source data from June 2020. Noqsi Aerospace holds no IDIQ, GWAC, or BPA vehicles and does not participate in any multi-award contract vehicles; all awards are direct purchase orders. One award, valued at $75 thousand, reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and faces recompete exposure.
