No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is soliciting inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market a new quantum entanglement source array under solicitation T2P-GRC-00134. Classified under NAICS 927110 Space Research and Technology and PSC 9999 MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS, this technology addresses the unwanted production of multiple entangled photon pairs that typically introduce noise and degrade quantum transmissions. The source array generates single pairs of entangled photons at a high rate while inhibiting multiple pairs, increasing the successful qubit transmission rate by a factor of 10 to 100 for applications in cybersecurity, finance, and advanced computing.
NASA offers license rights on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis for specific fields of use, though the agency provides no funding and does not manufacture products for commercial sale. This technology transfer opportunity aims to promote public awareness of NASA-developed products and conduct market research to determine the potential for future licensing. The source array is intended to support the development of secure communication networks, sensor arrays, and quantum computer networks.
The deadline for expressing interest in this opportunity is July 17, 2026. Interested parties must submit a license application through NASA’s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS). NASA’s Technology Transfer Program manages the process for this notice, which includes no attachments and is not expected to result in a follow-on procurement.
