NASA has awarded the Consolidated Agency Technology Transfer Services contract to Virginia-based Summit Technologies & Solutions, Inc., to provide support for the agency’s Technology Transfer Program.
Summit Technologies & Solutions will provide NASA tech transfer support at multiple centres, including the agency’s headquarters in Washington, Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama, and Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, with the potential to support other agency field centres under the enterprise contract.
The performance-based firm-fixed-price contract has a potential mission services value of USD26 million and a maximum potential indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity value of USD55 million. The contract begins on June 1, 2024, for a one-year base period followed by four one-year option periods exercisable at NASA’s discretion.
Under this HUBZone small business set-aside contract, the company will support NASA’s mission to identify and manage its intellectual property with commercial potential. Summit Technologies & Solutions will also be responsible for transferring those technologies to entrepreneurs, companies, universities, non-profits, business incubators, innovation ecosystems, and state and local governments. NASA says this will help create jobs and technological advantages for US companies and promote economic development.
