NASA Glenn Seeks Proposals for New Aerospace Power Systems Laboratory

WHY IT MATTERS

The lab will enable NASA to test and develop advanced power systems essential for upcoming deep‑space missions, ensuring reliable energy for Artemis, lunar, and Martian exploration.

What happened

NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland has issued a Phase 1 solicitation for the design and construction of an Aerospace Power Systems Laboratory. The lab will provide modern test facilities to advance power‑system research and support current and future missions, including Artemis, the Moon Base, and Mars exploration. Proposals must be submitted by Oct. 30, 2026, 1 p. m. EST, through NASA’s EFSS Box. The award is expected Dec. 16, 2026, with work performed on‑site at Glenn and off‑site at the contractor’s facilities. The NAICS code is 236220 and the small‑business size standard is $45 million. Questions should be sent to contracting officer John Christel by Oct. 12, 2026.
