The NASA Lewis Research Center is pursuing research and technology work in advanced air-breathing engine propulsion. The work encompasses a wide range of technologies primarily for engines in the 10,000 pound class and larger, including afterburning engines. The applications include military and commercial subsonic and supersonic aircraft. The scope includes experimental and analytical investigations for such aeropropulsion systems including sub scale to full scale. Research deliverables can include reports, data, software and/or hardware related to the design, analysis, fabrication and test of sub-components, components engine systems and subsystems. The scope also includes controls work and development of advanced materials and processing. The work will be accomplished thru the use of specific completion tasks issued by NASA. The total estimated period of performance is sixty (60) months. A security clearance to the level of secret may be required for some tasks. Multiple awards are contemplated. An option provision for additional effort is planned. The solicitation and any documents related to this procurement will be available over the Internet.
