Space Power Electronics Inc.

Space Power Electronics Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Bonaire, Georgia, designs and manufactures custom laser electronics assemblies and circuit boards for NASA as a prime contractor (91% of recent awards), delivering specialized components for space exploration and lunar science missions. The company operates on a non-set-aside, full-and-open basis and competes predominantly as a direct prime contractor to NASA centers rather than through government-wide vehicles or set-aside programs.

Space Power Electronics concentrates its customer base entirely within NASA. Recent prime work flows through the NASA Shared Services Center and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, accounting for 19 of 21 named NASA awards (66% of all awards, 87% of combined potential value). The source distinguishes between the Shared Services Center as the contracting entity and the Goddard Space Flight Center as the performing center; work is performed at NASA Goddard in Greenbelt, Maryland. Representative prime contracts include a $26,850 firm-fixed-price purchase order (March 2026) for a prototype laser electronics assembly supporting NASA's Dual-wavelength Small All-range Lidar (SALI-DW) program for lunar science, designed to deliver 2-watts average output power with 256-watts peak power and operate in ultra-high vacuum; a $57,500 firm-fixed-price purchase order (October 2023) for engineering model intra-cavity optical parametric oscillator laser electronics assemblies supporting the Lunar Exploration and Science Orbiter mission; and a $26,880 firm-fixed-price purchase order (October 2024) for high-voltage electrical engineering consulting on the MOSAIC-GDC project. All awards were issued as sole-source procurements under Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1(b)(1) based on determinations that Space Power Electronics holds unique technical capability in space-qualified circuit design and advanced electronics engineering at Technology Readiness Level 6 status.

Space Power Electronics operates with minimal vehicle and subcontractor footprint. The top parent vehicle is Blanket Purchase Agreement NNG04CK50Z carrying one task order valued at $25 thousand. As a subcontractor, Space Power Electronics performs under Aerodyne-Sgt Engineering Services LLC on the MIST II contract (Multidisciplinary Engineering Task Orders), delivering laser driver design packages and laser driver cards for space flight and ground system hardware. The company also appears as a named sub-recipient on a University of Maryland, College Park federal grant (May 2024) for the CRATER project (Characterization of Regolith And Trace Economic Resources).

Activity within the source dataset spans from 2000 through March 2026 but clusters in recent years — four awards in 2023, three in 2024, and one in 2026 — with 32 total awards at $3.7 million combined potential value. Service Contract Inventory records are minimal: only two SCI records as a named subcontractor across FY2022–FY2024, with less than one FTE in any fiscal year, reflecting the company's orientation toward purchase-order-based, goods-dominant prime contracting rather than large service-contract engagement. Space Power Electronics' NAICS footprint emphasizes Engineering Services (13 awards) and manufacturing categories including Electromedical and Electrotherapeutic Apparatus Manufacturing and Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing; PSC concentration runs to Electrical And Electronic Assemblies, Boards, Cards, and Associated Hardware (5 awards) and Support—Professional Engineering/Technical (5 awards).
