GOVERNMENT CONTRACT OPPORTUNITY ============================== Notice ID: T2P-MSFC-00054 Title: TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: Cladding and Freeform Deposition for Coolant Channel Closeout (MFS-TOPS-81) Agency: NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Sub-Agency: NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Office: NASA MARSHALL SPACE FLIGHT CENTER TYPE & CLASSIFICATION --------------------- Opportunity Type: Special Notice NAICS Code: 927110 PSC Code: 9999 Set-Aside: Full & Open Competition LOCATION -------- State: AL City: HUNTSVILLE ZIP: 35812 KEY DATES --------- Posted: 2026-03-24T22:34:09.147Z Response Deadline: 2027-03-02T21:00:00.000Z Status: Active DESCRIPTION ----------- NASAs Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: Low-cost, large-scale liquid rocket engines with regeneratively cooled nozzles will enable reliable and reduced-cost access to space. Coolant, contained under high pressure, circulates through a bank of channels within the nozzle to properly cool the nozzle walls to withstand high temperatures and prevent failure. It has been a challenge to affordably manufacture and close out the intricate nozzle channels. As such, NASA developed a robust and simplified additive manufacturing technology to build the nozzle liner outer jacket to close out the channels within and contain the high-pressure coolant. The new Laser Wire Direct Closeout (LWDC) capability reduces the time to fabricate the nozzle and allows for real-time inspection during the build. One variation enables a bimetallic part (copper/super-alloy, e.g.) to help optimize material where it is needed. The manufacturing process has been demonstrated on a series of different alloys. Hot-fire testing is complete—the parts were exposed to extreme combustion chamber temperatures and pressure conditions for 1,000+ seconds. Micro-graph examination of the hot-fired test article has verified that the coolant channel closeout bonds are reliable and that there is very little deformation to the coolant channels. To express interest in this licensing opportunity, please submit a license application through NASAs Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/MFS-TOPS-81 If you have any questions, please e-mail NASAs Technology Transfer Program at Agency-Patent-Licensing@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this SAM.gov notice and your preferred contact information. For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/ These responses are provided to members of NASAs Technology Transfer Program for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice. --- Source: Gov Contract Finder Canonical URL: https://govcontractfinder.com/contracts/technology-transfer-licensing-opportunity-cladding-and-freef-t2p-msfc-00054 Official Source: SAM.gov Official URL: https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/7a4f8a7b90694091bd828f6b81072bdb/view
