The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market a Passive Smart Container (MSC-TOPS-36). Developed by the Johnson Space Center, this technology uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) circuits to monitor and track items that are too small to tag individually, such as bulk grain foods, liquids, pills, mechanical parts, and small electronic components. This system identifies container fill levels to fill technology gaps in item-level tracking for dense quantities. Potential commercial applications include pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution, individual healthcare management, and retail or supply chain inventory management.
