Quick Summary
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), specifically the NASA Shared Services Center (NSSC), intends to issue a sole source contract to TRIGGS TECH, LLC for Superconducting Detector Multiplexing Test Support. This notice serves as a market survey to determine if other qualified sources exist. Performance will be at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Interested organizations must submit capabilities by June 1, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for Superconducting detector multiplexing test support. The Statement of Work (SOW) details the objective to lead the readout development of superconducting two-dimensional multiplexer (2dMUX) arrays based on SQUID technology. This includes expertise in Transition-Edge Sensor (TES) arrays using SQUID-based 2dMUXs, associated ground support equipment, multi-channel electronics, and cryogenic systems. The effort also involves developing software for advanced circuit readout. This supports the "Advancing Scalability of Far-IR Transition-Edge Sensor Arrays" ROSES/SAT project, requiring a rate of 0.2 WYE (Work Year Equivalent), with no authorized travel or procurement.
