When is the deadline for the NASA Headquarters RFP?

The deadline for this RFP is Mar 2, 2027. Make sure to submit your proposal before this date to be considered.

How do I find RFPs before my competitors?

Starbridge centralizes thousands of state, local, education, and university bid portals into one AI-powered feed. We monitor 24/7 and alert you the moment an RFP drops, so you're always first to know. Plus, we track early buying signals—like contract expirations and meeting minutes—months before RFPs are released.

Should I wait for the RFP to be released?

No. If you're not already part of the RFP writing process, you're already behind. Starbridge helps you identify opportunities months early through buying signals like strategic plans, board meeting mentions, contract expirations, and new budgets—so you can influence requirements before competitors even see the RFP.

How does Starbridge help me win more RFPs?

Starbridge helps you create winning proposals in half the time with AI-powered proposal drafting based on your product knowledge base. We auto-fill responses, generate compliance matrices, and provide real-time collaboration tools. Plus, you get verified decision-maker contacts and account intelligence to tailor your approach.

What results do Starbridge customers see?

Starbridge customers report booking 5 meetings in their first week, 40% lifts in campaign response rates, and identifying 300+ opportunities in their first month. On average, Starbridge helps sales teams book 30-40% of leads into meetings by targeting the right accounts at the right time.

Summary

Low-cost, large-scale liquid rocket engines with regeneratively cooled nozzles will enable reliable and reduced-cost access to space. Coolant, contained under high pressure, circulates through a bank of channels within the nozzle to properly cool the nozzle walls to withstand high temperatures and prevent failure. It has been a challenge to affordably manufacture and close out the intricate nozzle channels. As such, NASA developed a robust and simplified additive manufacturing technology to build the nozzle liner outer jacket to close out the channels within and contain the high-pressure coolant. The new Laser Wire Direct Closeout (LWDC) capability reduces the time to fabricate the nozzle and allows for real-time inspection during the build. One variation enables a bimetallic part (copper/super-alloy, e.g.) to help optimize material where it is needed. The manufacturing process has been demonstrated on a series of different alloys. Hot-fire testing is complete&#8212the parts were exposed to extreme combustion chamber temperatures and pressure conditions for 1,000+ seconds. Micro-graph examination of the hot-fired test article has verified that the coolant channel closeout bonds are reliable and that there is very little deformation to the coolant channels.

In mono-propulsion systems, a propellant is flowed across a catalyst to promote a chemical reaction and generate thrust. Conventional catalyst manufacturing methods entail (a) coating the inner walls of the thruster nozzle with a catalyst (generally undesirable due to limited catalyst-propellant contact), or (b) inserting a metal or graphite foam coated with a catalyst material into the thruster chamber. Method (b), while superior in terms of thrust generation, also possesses several limitations. Metal/graphite foams are difficult and expensive to procure, stochastic/random in nature (e.g., possess high variability in terms of geometric and other properties), and must be jammed into the thruster chamber using a compression plunger during installation – a process that often leads to catalyst damage. A new manufacturing method that improves repeatability, thruster reactivity, and tailorability (e.g., mechanical, chemical, and fluid flow) while reducing cost and lead time is thus highly desirable. To address this need, NASA and EOS developed methods to additively manufacture (AM) ultra-fine lattice structure propulsion catalysts.
