- Description
- NASA/GRC plans to issue a Request for Proposal for the design, fabrication andtesting of a custom prototype Helmet Mounted Display (HMD).The Constellation Extravehicular Activity (EVA) program is developing an advanced lunarspace suit, which will allow astronauts to safely and efficiently explore the moon. Glenn Research Center (GRC) is responsible for the Power, Communications, Avionics, andInformatics (PCAI) subsystems of the future EVA space suit.As part of this effort GRC seeks to develop a prototype helmet mounted display systemwith design aspects not found in existing helmet mounted display (HMD) systems. The contract scope will include design, fabrication, and testing of a custom prototypeHMD system with roughly NASA Technical Readiness Level (TRL) of 3 to 4. The HMD displaysystem is expected to include electronics to receive standard video interfaces and drivethe display source, plus all optics needed to deliver the image to the user. Ultimatelythe display will be evaluated in one, possibly two, of the existing JSC EVA prototypespace suits. Therefore, the mechanical design and packaging must be compatible with thesame suit(s).The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.See Note26.The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 541712 and 500 employees, respectively. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.The anticipated release date of the July 25, 2008 with an anticipated offer due date ofon or about August 25, 2008.An ombudsman has been appointed -- See NASA Specific Note "B".The solicitation and any documents related to this procurement will be available over theInternet.
