E-MAIL: Kimberly D. Duncan, k.d.duncan@larc.nasa.gov. NASA/LaRC plans to issue a Request for Quote (RFQ) to Perform Simulated Space Environmental Testing on Thin Films. The objective of this work is to establish the ground-based simulated testing protocol necessary to simulate the environmental conditions present at 0.98 astronomical units (AU) and/or L2. These orbits are important for the Geostorm solar event warning satellite and the Next Generation Space Telescope, respectively. If one of these orbits is thought to be significantly more degradative to the films than the other, the worst case set of conditions will be selected. The approach is to establish a testing protocol to simulate five years of exposure, expose candidate films, determine the effects of the exposure on material properties of importance to the missions and establish the expected end-of-life performance. 1 lot This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. The SIC Code and Size Standard are 8731 and 500 employees, respectively.
