THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. NO PROPOSALS ARE TO BE SUBMITTED IN RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/Armstrong Flight Research Center (AFRC) is hereby soliciting information from potential sources to provide engineering support, manufacturability analysis, fabrication, assembly, inspection, and delivery of at least one flight-ready aerodynamic test pod (with an option for a second pod) to support the Flight Demonstration and Capabilities (FDC) Subproject - Geometry Optimization and Sensing with Integration and Flight Test (GOSWIFT). The objective of the GOSWIFT effort is to design, manufacture, and deliver an aerodynamic test pod that maintains the Outer Mold Line (OML) of a standard centerline 610-gallon external fuel tank used on an F-15D aircraft. The pod will support aerodynamic and flight test activities while providing internal volume for instrumentation and test equipment. The intent of the effort is for the pod to conform to the design provided by NASA and for industry to collaborate with the program engineering team to ensure the NASA produced design, which meets structural, aerodynamic, and integration requirements, remains manufacturable within schedule constraints.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) AFRC is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including all socioeconomic categories of Small Businesses and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI) for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for the GOSWIFT pod effort.
