- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters, anticipates a release of a Space Technology Announcement of Collaborative Opportunity (ACO) on or about January 18, 2017. Once the announcement is posted, complete details (to include due dates) can be accessed via the following steps: 1. Open the NSPIRES homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ 2. Select "Solicitations" 3. Select "Open Solicitations" 4. Select "NNH17ZOA001K" The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) continues to embrace partnerships to achieve its strategic goals for expanding capabilities and opportunities in space. NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) is seeking partnerships that will focus on advancing technologies that can benefit both the commercial and government use of outer space. NASA is seeking to provide technical expertise, facilities, hardware, and software to accelerate the development and availability of these technologies. NASA will solicit proposals that are led by a U.S. for-profit entity to partner with one or more NASA Centers as a team member(s) to enter into Non-reimbursable Space Act Agreements (SAA) to support the accelerated development and testing of critical technologies for emerging space system capabilities. A "U.S. for-profit entity" is a commercial firm or business incorporated in the United States (or an unincorporated U.S. firm with its principal place of business in the United States) that is controlled by U.S. citizens or by another U.S. entity. In addition to one or more NASA Centers, team members may include other U.S. for-profit entities, U.S. non-profit entities (including universities and educational institutions), and/or U.S, Federal, State and local government agencies, as appropriate to optimize the potential for rapid development and commercialization of the space technology. See Section 3.0 of the Announcement for complete eligibility restrictions. These Non-reimbursable SAAs will serve to implement the awarded support/collaboration with participating NASA Centers and the awardees to implement a series of mutually beneficial activities consistent with NASA's 2014 Strategic Plan. The following topics are being considered for the ACO. Final release topics may be subject to change. 1.Small Launch Vehicle Technology Development 2.Reliable Electronics and Avionics Technologies 3.Advanced Communication Technologies 4.Reliable Small Spacecraft Component Technologies 5.In-space Propulsion and Transportation Systems NASA anticipates using a two-step proposal process where a short preliminary proposal is submitted. NASA anticipates providing feedback on the preliminary proposal and allowing participants that submitted a preliminary proposal to submit a full proposal. All proposals must be submitted electronically through NSPIRES by an authorized organizational representative (AOR). Registration Information and NSPIRES tutorials can be found at: http://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/ under Getting Started. Potential participants and their proposing organizations are urged to familiarize themselves with the submission system, ensure they are registered in NSPIRES, and submit the required proposal materials well in advance of the deadline. Interested proposers should monitor the NSPIRES website or subscribe to the electronic notification system for release of this solicitation and any amendments. Technical, programmatic, and procurement comments and questions must be submitted in writing by e-mail to: HQ-STMD-ACO@nasaprs.com Any documents related to this procurement will be available by opening the NSPIRES homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ by selecting "Solicitations," then selecting "Open Solicitations," and, finally, selecting "Announcement of Collaborative Opportunity (ACO)." It is the participant's responsibility to monitor the Internet site for the release of the final solicitation and amendments (if any).
