- Description
- 03/10/2023 - This is a modification to the synopsis entitled In Space Production Applications (InSPA) NASA Research Announcement (NRA), 80JSC023INSPA, which was posted on February 15, 2023. You are notified that the following changes are made:� The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is announcing an opportunity for U.S. entities seeking to develop and demonstrate In Space Production Applications (InSPA) on the International Space Station (ISS) National Lab (NL). This opportunity is made available through the ISS NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNJ13BG001N, Special Focus Area 1 �In Space Production Applications (InSPA)."" This notice is for InSPA Phase 1 concepts in the area of Tissue Engineering and Biomanufacturing. NASA requests the submission of white papers followed by proposals (by invitation only) that focus on applications that use space to serve markets on Earth. Proposals should demonstrate the potential of space to produce superior biomaterials and products over what can be achieved on Earth for important terrestrial applications. The final amendment to Focus Area 1 has been published to NSPIRES. The white paper due date has been extended to April 7, 2023. � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �� The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is announcing an opportunity for U.S. entities seeking to develop and demonstrate In Space Production Applications (InSPA) on the International Space Station (ISS) National Lab (NL). This opportunity is made available through the ISS NASA Research Announcement (NRA) NNJ13BG001N, Special Focus Area 1 �In Space Production Applications (InSPA)�, link listed in the attachments/links section. The ISS remains the premier microgravity research and development laboratory for those seeking to develop and demonstrate technologies for in-space production of new and higher performing products for use on Earth. NASA intends to make awards through this Focus Area to enable commercially viable and sustainable business opportunities in low-Earth orbit (LEO) that advance solutions for national interest or public benefit by leveraging the capabilities and resources of the ISS. NASA intends through these awards to provide the support needed by United States non-governmental entities during early-stage development to validate game-changing materials and production processes that give U.S. industry a competitive edge amidst increasing global competition. For more information on NASA�s InSPA Portfolio, visit www.nasa.gov/inspa. This notice is for InSPA Phase 1 concepts in the area of Tissue Engineering and Biomanufacturing. NASA requests the submission of white papers followed by proposals (by invitation only) that focus on applications that use space to serve markets on Earth. Proposals should demonstrate the potential of space to produce superior biomaterials and products over what can be achieved on Earth for important terrestrial applications. A draft of the amendment to Focus Area 1 is posted for industry review and comment. Comments are requested to be submitted to the NRA Manager, Colleen Corbett, via email at colleen.corbett@nasa.gov no later than 4 pm Central time on March 1, 2023. The anticipated release date of the final Focus Area 1 amendment is on or about March 8, 2023, with an anticipated white paper due date of on or about March 31, 2023. The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 541715 - Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) and 1,000 employees, respectively. If a solicitation is released, then it and any additional documents will be available on SAM.gov�and NASA�Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES). Potential applicants are urged to access NSPIRES well in advance of the white paper and proposal due date(s) of interest to familiarize themselves with its structure and enter the requested identifier information. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor this website for the release of the solicitation and amendments (if any). Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments (if any).
