Even small amounts of hydrogen can damage sensitive equipment over time.

As hydrogen accumulates inside sealed environments, it can corrode metals, weaken structural materials, degrade electronic components, and, in some applications, create explosion hazards.

Preventing that buildup is essential for maintaining the reliability and safety of many high-value systems.

Hydrogen getters are materials built into sealed devices and systems to remove hydrogen before it can accumulate.

Like a moisture absorber, they remove an unwanted gas.

Instead of trapping water, however, they chemically react with hydrogen and lock it away permanently.

Depending on the application, a getter may take the form of a pellet, coating, thin film, powder, or printable material.

Many commercially available getters rely on zirconium-based materials that offer limited hydrogen storage capacity, require activation before use, or operate effectively only within a narrow temperature range.

Some also depend on costly vacuum-deposition manufacturing processes that limit design flexibility.

Los Alamos researchers have developed a new class of hydrogen getters designed to overcome these limitations.

The materials capture hydrogen and its isotopes, including deuterium and tritium, across a broad range of operating conditions without requiring activation while offering significantly higher storage capacity and greater flexibility for manufacturing and product integration.

Value Proposition Hydrogen can quietly build up inside sealed devices and industrial systems, shortening equipment life and creating safety risks.

Los Alamos National Laboratory has developed a new class of high-capacity hydrogen getters that permanently remove hydrogen before it causes damage.

Compared with conventional getters, this technology stores m...

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.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
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.
