NASA’s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology.

License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use.

NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses.

THE TECHNOLOGY: Innovators at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center have developed a groundbreaking extravehicular activity (EVA)-compatible Battery Charger Module (BCM) as part of the Lunar Experiment Support System and Handling (LESSH) package.

This first-of-its-kind technology is designed to provide wired battery charging capabilities to astronauts on the lunar surface or other harsh environments.

With the Artemis III mission and beyond, NASA plans to deploy cutting-edge science instruments near the lunar South Pole landing site.

To support extended lunar science operations, the EVA-compatible LESSH BCM offers seamless recharging and reliable hard-line data transfer at the modular interface bank on the Human Landing System (HLS) or other Artemis systems (rovers, vehicles, habitats, etc.).

Engineered for astronaut ease-of-use, the LESSH BCM delivers an ergonomic interface to connect instruments to power and data systems.

By combining battery charge monitoring with flexible data transfer capabilities, the BCM empowers astronauts to extend the scope and duration of operations on the Moon.

The NASA invention is integral to creating a recharging infrastructure that enables sustainable, long-term lunar exploration.

NASA’s LESSH BCM is a compact, high-performance, ruggedized system designed to support extended science operations in harsh lunar environments.

With a mass of 9.4 kg and dimensions of 50 x 25 x 10 cm, the BCM is engineered for se...

Official solicitation and documents

The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
