Description

Presolicitation Notice - Synopsis

NASA Glenn Research Center/GRC has a requirement for mechanical testing of refractory composite materials in an inert environment at room and elevated temperatures up to 5000°F in combination with related capabilities to include:

refractory composite material instrumentation, including thermocouples, strain gages, and fiber optics sensors, both internally embedded and surface mounted refractory composite material machining with the ability to machine test specimens, fasteners, and structural components in a classified environment design allowables for material property databases with the ability to assist in the statistical analysis of distributed test data to provide statistically valid design allowables automated fiber placement to build coupon and elements using an industrial-scale dual-axis part rotator x-ray computed tomography at various levels of resolution in a classified environment hot structures testing in an oxidizing and inert envrionment up to at least 1800°F in a heated zone of at least 6ft x 6ft x 1ft in a classified setting biaxial testing via resistive or radiant heating methods strain measurements using extensometers to 3500°F, fiber optic sensors, strain gages to

1900°F, and digital image correlation to

2700°F Mechanical tests are a critical aspect of NASA-s continuing research to further advance refractory composite hot structures using the data acquired for material selection, structural design, and failure analysis.

NASA/GRC intends to issue a sole source contract to acquire the above testing and related capabilities from Wichita State University-s National Institute of Aviation for Research (NIAR) under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

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