No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Technology Transfer Program is soliciting inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market a Laser Wire Direct Closeout (LWDC) additive manufacturing technology. Identified by solicitation number T2P-MSFC-00054, this opportunity is classified under NAICS 927110 Space Research and Technology and PSC 9999 MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. NASA may issue license rights on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis for specific fields of use, though no federal funding is provided in conjunction with these potential licenses.
The LWDC technology provides a robust and simplified method for building nozzle liner outer jackets to close out intricate channels and contain high-pressure coolant in liquid rocket engines. This capability reduces fabrication time, allows for real-time inspection during the build, and supports the creation of bimetallic parts to optimize material placement. The manufacturing process has been demonstrated on various alloys and has successfully undergone hot-fire testing for over 1,000 seconds under extreme combustion chamber temperatures and pressures. Micro-graph examinations of test articles have verified that the coolant channel closeout bonds remain reliable with minimal deformation.
Interested parties must submit a license application through NASA’s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by the response deadline of March 2, 2027. This notice is intended to promote public awareness of NASA-developed technologies and conduct market research regarding interest in licensing opportunities. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from this announcement, and there are currently zero attachments associated with this notice.
