Description
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Stennis Space Center (SSC) is seeking to identify potential industry interest in an agency real property asset located at SSC. This announcement describes a NASA asset that is currently underutilized as a result of program cancellation. SSC also seeks through this announcement to ensure broad awareness and visibility of the anticipated opportunities for Public-Private and Public-Public Ventures (PPV) between NASA and industry or non-federal public entities. Such ventures are defined as partnering tools in NASA’s Real Property Management Program to leverage underutilized Agency real property to maximize utilization and efficiency. NASA may use a PPV to grant a partner an interest in real property for a specified term through an instrument such as a lease, a use permit, or other form of legal agreement authorized by the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958. In addition to PPV agreements, NASA may pursue other approaches, as described in this announcement, to enable others to use facilities for which SSC has a current or future need to support NASA’s mission.
The SSC E-4 facility was originally conceived to conduct tests in support of NASA’s Rocket Based Combined Cycle (RBCC) Program. It was designed and partially constructed for the purpose of ground testing RBCC propulsion systems. The E-4 Test Facility is the newest addition to SSC’s E-Complex. The facility currently consists of a high-bay work area, control room space, personnel offices, and concrete test cells. There are road and barge canal access as well as standard utilities. Projects conducted at the E-4 Test Facility will have the ability to access SSC’s on-site amenities and support capabilities including several cafeterias, medical clinic, laboratory, component, IT, institutional and other services. The E-4 Test Facility design also allows for the growth of capabilities to meet future requirements
