The end goal is to develop a prototype cryocooler with a flight-representative thermal control system test that achieves 120 - 150 W of cooling capacity at 90-120 K. Funding is available and shall not exceed $750,000.00 to award to multiple companies. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code and Size Standard are 541715 -- Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) with a small business size standard of 1000 employees, respectively. All responsible sources may submit a proposal to be considered by the agency. This RFP document is the official call for proposals, and this language dictates the terms of the procurement, regardless of what may have been posted previously. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Part 5, entitled, "Publicizing Contract Actions," contracting information is posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website and made equally available for all interested parties simultaneously. RFP's are due no later than October 10, 2018, 4:30 PM Eastern Time. This solicitation and any documents related to this procurement shall be available over the Internet at FBO. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor the Internet site for the release amendments (if any). Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments (if any). NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html. Instructions to Responders This is an RFP, and NASA intends to award one (1) or more contract(s) based on this RFP. NASA shall not provide reimbursement for costs incurred in responding to this RFP. Respondents are advised that NASA is under no obligation to acknowledge receipt of the information received with respect to any information submitted under this RFP. NASA may contact respondents to this RFP to seek clarifications or additional information. Responses to this RFP do not bind NASA to any further actions related to this topic. Any future steps taken to award this RFP shall be contingent upon availability of funds. This solicitation contains all information required to submit a response.
