- Description
- Communications and Avionics Installation on NASA GRC T-34 Pre-Solicitation NoticeRECOVERY ACT - THE NASA GLENN RESEARCH CENTER (GRC) HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED UNDER THEAMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 TO ISSUE a Request for Proposal forCommunications and Avionics Installations on a NASA GRC T-34 Aircraft. THIS NOTICE ISPROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) represent new vehicle and operational concepts in civilaviation. These new concepts are evolving as the nation moves toward the Next GenerationAir Transportation System (NextGen), which is under the leadership of the Joint Planningand Development Office (JPDO).The desire and ability to fly UAS in the National AirSpace (NAS) in the near term has increased dramatically. NASA GRC intends to issue Solicitation # NNC10ZRH007R to upgrade aircraft avionics in aNASA owned T-34 aircraft to validate and verify research and development requirementswhich will guide how future unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) can safely operate in thenational airspace. Specifically, the aircraft avionics upgrades for this task will beused to validate and verify requirements for how unmanned aircraft systems can safelycommunicate with ground controllers using prototype communication systems. The result ofthis task is an upgrade of NASA GRC's T-34 aircraft with avionics for interfacingaircraft flight controls and sensors to aircraft research data communication equipment. This hardware upgrade will be used for validation and verification of UAS communicationsystems as they impact UAS during flight. The Contractor shall provide a Worksite (within 350 nm radius of Cleveland, Ohio and inthe United States of America) for modification of the aircraft, subject to the approvalby the NASA Technical Manager and NASA Pilot (airfield suitability for drop off and testflights).The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.See Note26.The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 488190 and $7 million, respectively. The anticipated release date of the RFP is on or about April 1, 2010 with an anticipatedoffer due date of on or about May 15, 2010.A pre-proposal conference for viewing of the T34 aircraft has been arranged at NASA GRC,April 20th from 9:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Further information will be included in thesolicitation.An ombudsman has been appointed -- See NASA Specific Note 'B'.The solicitation and any documents related to this procurement will be available over theInternet. These documents will reside on a World Wide Web (WWW) server, which may beaccessed using a WWW browser application. The Internet site, or URL, for the NASA/GRCBusiness Opportunities home page ishttp://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=D&pin=22 Prospective offerors shall notify this office of their intent to submit an offer. It isthe offeror's responsibility to monitor the Internet site for the release of thesolicitation and amendments (if any).
