How to bid on a Pressure Sensor Mechanism licensing opportunity from NASA
What NASA is buying and why it matters
NASA is offering a licensing opportunity for its Pressure Sensor Mechanism technology. This technology is a wireless pressure sensor based on passive RFID, designed to measure or monitor tactile pressure. It can be integrated into mechanical systems to autonomously communicate pressure changes without needing an external power supply.
This is a chance for companies to obtain license rights to commercialize, manufacture, and market this NASA-developed technology. NASA does not provide funding for these licenses and does not manufacture products for commercial sale. No follow-on procurement is expected from this notice.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The opportunity was published on March 23, 2026. The deadline to submit a license application is February 27, 2027, at 4:00 PM ET. All applications must be submitted through NASA’s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by this time.
After the deadline, NASA's Technology Transfer Program will review the submitted applications. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is ideal for companies in the professional services sector, particularly those involved in manufacturing, marketing, or commercializing sensor technologies, RFID systems, or mechanical systems where wireless pressure monitoring is beneficial. Firms with expertise in integrating advanced technologies into commercial products will find this relevant.
Companies interested in expanding their product lines with innovative, NASA-developed technology, especially those seeking to avoid the challenges of traditional wired systems, are well-suited for this licensing opportunity.
