- Description
- NASA/GRC intends to enter a sole source contract with Pratt & Whitney for the effort entitled Validation of Ultra-High Bypass Ration Engine Technologies. The potential contract will be issued in accordance with sole source authority as granted by FAR 6-302-1 (Only One Responsible Source and No Other Suppliers or Sources Will Satisfy Agency Requirements). The primary objective of this activity is to continue developing technologies for Ultra-High Bypass (UHB) ratio engines as a major focus of engine systems capable of reducing noise, emissions and aircraft fuel burn. NASA has been working on UHB technologies at the foundational and component levels and is interested in validating several component technologies in full scale engines by 2008. The purpose of the engine test is to validate key technologies in a static engine test to confirm benefits predicted from model scale test and prediction tools. These technologies include a variable area bypass nozzle, a low tip speed fan, particulate measurements methods, gaseous emissions measurements methods and alternative fuels. The fan from the engine shall meet the following specifications: Full power corrected tip speed < 1130 feet per second Fan stage pressure ratios < 1.36 Specific flow approximately 42.5 lbm/sec ft2 Fan designed to operate with variable area bypass duct nozzle The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. On May 18, 2007 a Sources Sought Synopsis was issued to determine potential candidates to perform this effort. As a result only three responses were received. Should there be other companies capable of performing this specific effort, such companies may submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on July 16, 2007. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the government. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. [OMBUDSMAN STATEMENT IS REQUIRED] An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B". Any referenced notes may be viewed at the following URLs linked below. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (02-JUL-2007); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
