99 -- EXTRAVEHICULAR MOBILITY UNIT (EMU) REGENERABLE METAL OXIDE CO2 REMOVAL SYSTEM SOL 9BP-09-5-13P DUE 013195 POC RICK BENNETT, Tel:713-483-1872 Contracting Officer:GAIL BOYES, Tel:713-483-5784 The Government intends to enter into a procurement for an Extravehicular Mobilty Unit (EMU) Regenerable Metal Oxide CO2 Removal System. This system consists of a Metal Oxide CO2 scrubber which is a Regenerable atmospheric control system that removes the crew members expired CO2 and trace contaminants from the EMU vent loop. The system shoukd be able to support approximately forty (40) 8-hour Extravehicular Activity (EVA) excursions during a one year period on the International Space Station Alpha. The system is required to interface with the existing EMU and take the place of the current Contamination Control Cartridge (CCC). No modification to the existing system will be allowed. NASA envisions this procurement to be for the development and certification of this system with an option for production of canister inventories (including spares) sufficient to support EVA's during one year on orbit plus resupply and ground support/training. This contract will also contain an option for supplying additional quantities of regenration units and caisters in a sufficient number to support ISSA EVA campot sceneries. Delivery of regeneration units is required by October 1997, and the canisters required under the first option cited by October 1998. The offeror must have the ability and resources to develop and manufacture the items mentioned in this procurement.
