- Description
- NASA/GRC has a requirement to develop high efficiency, free piston Stirling convertors as called for in the congressional Conference Report on H. R. 2862, Science, State, Justice, Commerce, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006. Preliminary work will be performed toward development of a nuclear-fission-powered 30 kW Stirling power system for use on the lunar surface with a specific power goal of about 140 W/kg for the Stirling power conversion system. The initial step, planned for this procurement, is the design and development of a nominal 5 kW per cylinder Stirling convertor assembly (SCA) which will serve as a prototype of one or more SCAs that will make up the final 30 kW lunar surface power system. Via the planned contract with Auburn University, it is anticipated that Auburn will procure the prototype SCA design from one of the major US Stirling free-piston manufacturers. NASA/GRC intends to purchase the research from Auburn University under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(5). The procurement will be implemented by FAR 6.302-5 which authorizes Other Than Full and Open Competition when a statute expressly authorizes or requires that the acquisition be made from a specified source. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. See note 22. Oral communications are acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B".
