Description

NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) is hereby soliciting information about potential sources for the definition, design, development and operations of space flight systems, associated support systems and equipment, and related ground development activities supporting current and future space flight missions. NASA GRC plans to issue a draft Request for Proposal (DRFP) for industry comments in April 2013 for this effort. NASA GRC has an extensive portfolio of Space Flight Programs and Projects that support the Agency’s Human Exploration and Operations and Science Mission Directorates. This contract shall encompass the definition, design, fabrication, assembly, integration, test and operation of a broad array of space flight projects that interface with a wide range of carriers. They include, but are not limited to: – Unique ISS flight investigations in combustion science, fluid physics, materials science, accelerometry, and communications technology; – Instrument packages and power, propulsion and sensor subsystems for Earth science, lunar exploration and other space science missions aboard spacecraft and airborne science platforms; – Advanced technology development of exercise countermeasures equipment, medical devices and biosensors for long duration space missions; – Ground based research investigations in analog environment facilities in support of exercise countermeasures development; – Computational modeling of advanced technologies, physiological systems and probabilistic risk assessment; – Advanced technology development and demonstrations in the areas of power, in-space propulsion, space communications systems and subsystems, lunar surface and in-situ resource applications, spacecraft fire safety, and energy storage and distribution; – International Space Station, Space Launch System and Orion systems and subsystems.

Contract performance is scheduled for January 2014 through December 2021.

No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released it will be synopsized in FedBizOpps and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service. It is the potential offeror’s responsibility to monitor these sites for the release of any solicitation or synopsis.

Interested offerors/vendors having the required specialized capabilities to meet the above requirement should submit a capability statement of five (5) pages or less indicating the ability to perform all aspects of the effort described herein. Responses must also include the following: name and address of firm, size of business; average annual revenue for past 3 years and number of employees; ownership; whether they are large, small, small disadvantaged, 8(a), HUBZone, and/or woman-owned; number of years in business; affiliate information: parent company, joint venture partners, potential teaming partners, prime contractor (if potential sub) or subcontractors (if potential prime); list of customers covering the past five years (highlight relevant work performed, contract numbers, contract type, dollar value of each procurement; and point of contact – address and phone number). Technical questions should be directed to: Thomas St. Onge, Technical Representative, at (216) 433-3557. Procurement related questions should be directed to the point of contact identified below.

This synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement.

The Government reserves the right to consider a small business or 8(a) set-aside based on responses hereto. All responses shall be submitted to the above address at Mail Stop 60-1 Attn: Ernest C. Mensurati, no later than February 15, 2013. Any referenced notes may be viewed by clicking either “Government-wide Notes” or “NASA-Specific Notes” links shown below.
