Description

NASA/GRC intends to award a contract as a result of receiving an unsolicited proposal for the design and fabrication of full-scale wind tunnel models in support of simulation methods for iced-aircraft research. NASA/GRC intends to purchase the items from The University of Illinois, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(1) Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirement.    

The University of Illinois is uniquely qualified to design the models as they have extensive experience in the design and development of wind tunnel models and testing methods, and have collaborated with NASA on many icing tunnel and aerodynamic tunnel test programs.    

In addition, they are currently performing research under an existing cooperative agreement for iced-aircraft research. 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 Thursday, January 20, 2005.
