The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is soliciting inquiries from companies interested in obtaining exclusive or nonexclusive license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market a freeze-resistant hydration system. Developed at the Johnson Space Center, this technology prevents water from freezing in tubing, containers, and mouthpieces during extreme environmental conditions. The system is designed to maintain functionality at temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees Celsius with 15-mile-per-hour winds over a 12-hour period. Originally conceived by an astronaut-mountaineer to mitigate dehydration risks in high-altitude environments, the device underwent field testing at Mt. Everest in May 2009.
This special notice, identified by solicitation number T2P-JSC-00068, is classified under NAICS 927110 for Space Research and Technology and PSC 9999 for Miscellaneous Items. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses and does not manufacture products for commercial sale. The primary purpose of this notice is to promote public awareness of NASA-developed technology and conduct market research to determine interest in future licensing opportunities. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from this announcement.
Interested parties must submit a license application through NASA’s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by the response deadline of February 27, 2027. Inquiries regarding the opportunity are managed by the NASA Technology Transfer Program. This announcement was published on March 24, 2026, and contains no attachments.
