B. Gardner, R.B.GARDNER@larc.nasa.gov. NASA LaRC plans to issue a NASA
Research Announcement (NRA) to solicit basic research proposals which
offer new and creative solutions to technical problems encountered in
the area of AIRFRAME SYSTEMS Base Research and Technology.
Specifically, this solicitation is looking for submissions in areas
which will impact the reduction of aircraft noise and emissions via the
airframe itself. The Airframe Systems are those systems that determine
or characterize the performance of an aircraft, including
airframe-propulsion system integration. Key elements of airframe
systems include the following: conceptual design; aerodynamic design;
development, and testing; structural design, development, and testing
(including airframe materials); flight crew station design, integration
and testing; and airborne systems (including flight mechanics,
controls, electromagnetic, and flight-crucial systems) design,
integration, and testing. Participation under the above announcement is
restricted to educational and other non-profit institutions. Although
no specific set-aside is contemplated for HBCU's and other minority
institutions, their participation is highly encouraged. NASA employees
are not permitted to be co-principal investigators on these proposals.
The anticipated release date of the NRA is on or about May 20, 1998,
with an anticipated proposal due date of on or about July 20, 1998.
Technical evaluations will be conducted through a peer review process
by discipline specialists. Proposals for up to 3 years of research
activity will be solicited. Approximately $1.5 million of FY 1999 funds
are anticipated for funding the proposals. Additionally, it is
anticipated that approximately $3 million would be available between FY
2000 and 2001. An ombudsman has been appointed. See Internet Note "B".
The NRA and any documents related to this procurement will be
available over the Internet. These documents will be in Microsoft
Office Suite (Word 6.0, Excel 5.0, or PowerPoint 4.0) format and will
reside on a World-Wide Web (WWW) server, which may be accessed using a
WWW browser application. The WWW address, or URL of the NASA/LaRC
Business Opportunities page is
http://procurement.nasa.gov/EPS/LaRC/class.html. Prospective offerors
shall notify this office of their intent to submit an offer. It is the
offeror's responsibility to monitor the aforementioned Internet site
for the release of the NRA and amendments (if any). Potential offerors
will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the NRA and
amendments (if any). Any referenced notes can be viewed at the
following URL: http://genesis.gsfc.nasa.gov/nnotes.htm. (0112) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0007 19980424\A-0007.SOL)
