NASA sole-source procurement of 10 EMRAX 228+42% liquid-cooled motors for RAVEN aircraft

NASA is pursuing a sole-source purchase of EMRAX motors for integration and testing of its Open eVTOL RAVEN research aircraft. - Buyer: NASA Shared Services Center (NASA/NSSC), for NASA Langley Research Center. - Procurement: 10 EMRAX 228+42% high-voltage, liquid-cooled electric motors, with coolant fittings and Holder Bearing packages; related accessories are also referenced. - Sole-source rationale: The RAVEN aircraft is designed to interface with these motors, and NASA says alternatives do not currently meet system requirements. Switching brands would require substantial mechanical and electrical redesign, with unacceptable cost and schedule impacts. - Use and delivery: Component testing and aircraft integration. Motors must be delivered to NASA Langley’s Shipping and Receiving Distribution Center for inspection before onward shipment to final recipients. - Response requirements: NASA requests capability statements only; quotes will not be considered. Responses are due by 7:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on October 8, 2026. NAICS code: 335312.
