- Description
- NASA Langley Research Center plans to issue a Draft Request for Proposal (DRFP)for Hypersonic Flight Demonstrators, Systems Analysis and Technologies on or about May 7, 2003. The objective of this task order contract is to perform the conceptual and/or early design phase activities for access-to-space vision vehicles and hypersonic flight demonstrator vehicles, including associated technology development, system and subsystem build, integration, and test. Specific work areas include 1) Systems analysis in support of a comprehensive, disciplined process of requirements-driven systems engineering and analysis as applied to a broad spectrum of future generation reusable space transportation systems, to include concepts of operation; system requirements, characteristics, and architectures; and conceptual system designs to serve as the basis for evaluating the impact of portfolios of advanced technologies; 2)Hypersonic Flight Vehicle Demonstrators, encompassing conceptual and preliminary design of reusable and expendable hypersonic flight vehicles whose objectives are focused on demonstration in flight of critical technologies in support of the goals of the Next Generation Launch Technology (NGLT) Program; 3) Dual-mode Ramjet-Scramjet Propulsion Technology Development, encompassing analysis and technology development for dual-mode ramjet-scramjet propulsion systems and airframe-integrated scramjet-powered vehicles, which address NGLT program goals of providing increased performance margin, increased weight margin and increased operational strength. This effort supports NASA's leadership role in development of access to space and hypersonic technology demonstrator flight vehicles and the related technologies supporting the NGLT Program. A cost-plus-fixed fee contract is contemplated for this effort with a period of performance of sixty (60) months. The projected contract start date is on or about October 17, 2003. The DRFP will be issued pursuant to NASA FAR Supplement 1815.201. Questions/comments are invited from potential offerors on all aspects of the DRFP, including the requirements, schedules, proposal instructions, and evaluation approach. The Government is not requesting proposals in response to this DRFP, does not intend to award a contract on the basis of the this solicitation and does not intend to pay for any information received regarding this solicitation. Prospective offerors are invited to submit questions/comments to the Contract Specialist, Nicole Carnicky, by e-mail to n.d.carnicky@larc.nasa.gov. An Industry Briefing is anticipated to be held on or about May 21, 2003, at the ODU Peninsula Graduate Center from 8:30 to 12:30. This briefing is intended to convey a detailed status of the project. Attendance at the briefing will be limited to four (4) representatives per company. The briefing will be unclassified. Access to this briefing is limited to U.S. citizens, individuals with a green card or resident aliens. Please contact Nicole Carnicky by email at n.d.carnicky@larc.nasa.gov to register for the briefing. Registration will commence May 14, 2003. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 541710 and 1,500 employees, respectively. The DPAS rating for this procurement is DO-A1. An ombudsman has been appointed -- See NASA Specific Note "B".
