Description

NASA/GRC has a requirement for a Phase II, NRA down select, contract to Develop a robust, low emissions combustor concept capable of meeting the LTO (landing and take-off) and cruise NOx emissions reduction goals while contributing to the achievement of the fuel burn goal without negatively impacting carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons or smoke, or particulates relative to CAEP/6 levels, at realistic N+2 engine conditions. Increased operability, stability, thermal management and performance of the combustor should be demonstrated for 100 hours in a full annular rig.

NASA/GRC intends to acquire the research via a down select. The original contracts were a result of an NRA announcement, NNH10ZEA001N. The original announcement was available via full and open competition with the expectation of a down select competition amongst the awardees.

The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.

Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on January 2, 2013. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government.

Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.

All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.

NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html .
