No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking inquiries from companies interested in licensing self-cleaning seal technology developed at the Kennedy Space Center’s Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory. Identified under solicitation number T2P-KSC-00057, this technology utilizes Electrodynamic Dust Shield systems to actively remove dust from seals in continuous or periodic cycles. The innovation addresses performance degradation in high-dust environments where accumulation on elastomeric or other seal types increases leak rates. While originally designed to ensure the integrity of pressurized space systems such as habitats, rovers, and space suits on lunar or Martian surfaces, the technology is also applicable to terrestrial pressurized systems in mining and material handling.
This opportunity is classified under NAICS code 927110 for Space Research and Technology and PSC code 9999 for Miscellaneous Items. NASA intends to issue license rights on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis for commercialization, manufacturing, and marketing in specific fields of use. No federal funding will be provided in conjunction with these potential licenses, and no follow-on procurement is expected to result from this notice. The agency is utilizing this special notice to promote public awareness and conduct market research to determine interest in the commercial potential of the technology.
Interested parties may submit a license application through NASA’s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS). The response deadline for this licensing opportunity is March 2, 2027. All inquiries are managed by NASA’s Technology Transfer Program to facilitate the transition of NASA-developed products into the commercial marketplace.
