- Description
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration?s (NASA) Glenn Research Center intends to conduct research projects over the next several years focused on research & technology development in components and engineering capabilities for airbreathing propulsion, applied to future space launch vehicles. The goal is to focus on the space access requirements needed to meet the long-term space transportation goals. The Propulsion Research and Technology Project in the Next Generation Launch Technology Program (NGLTP) intends to solicit proposals for research & technology development in components and engineering capabilities for airbreathing propulsion applied to future space launch vehicles, and the assessment of those concepts in ground, flight, or engineering model demonstrations. GRC plans to conduct analytical studies, lab demonstrations, field demonstrations, requirements analysis, design, and engineering model construction for innovative techniques that have the highest potential to meet the goals of NGLTP and the requirements of the Office of Aerospace Technology (OAT). In anticipation of a Government-Led NRA which is to be executed in parallel with an Industry- Led NRA, NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) is seeking partners from the aerospace industry to participate with NASA GRC Principal Investigators (PI) to develop proposals in response to these anticipated opportunities. It is expected that selection of the proposal(s) and availability of funds would result in contracts for the selected partner(s). This partnering opportunity does not guarantee selection for award of any contracts, nor is it to be construed as a commitment by NASA to pay for the information solicited. It is expected that the partner(s) selected would provide (at no cost to NASA) proposal inputs, including: conceptual designs, technical data, project schedules and cost estimates, consistent with the requirements of any NASA solicitations. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement. Potential partners are requested to submit a statement of interest and capability. This statement should demonstrate the capabilities and experience to provide systems, subsystems, and components consistent with the efforts synopsized for the relevant technology area. Partners must work collaboratively with NASA and other potential aerospace industry partners to perform the required tasks. Partner selection(s) will be made by GRC based on the following criteria: 1) Relevant experience, technical capability and availability of key personnel This criterion evaluates the proposer's relevant recent experience, technical capability to perform the tasks and key personnel available to support the tasks. Substantive evidence (points of contact and telephone numbers) of successful participation in similar efforts should be included. 2) Management Processes This criterion evaluates the proposer's ability to control both cost and schedule. The proposer should provide descriptions of program/project control and management processes used in similar technology development programs. Responses should be limited to 3 pages (12 point, Times Roman font) and address each of the criteria. Even though it may be duplicative, a separate proposal must be submitted for each technology area of interest. The responder must indicate on the cover page of the proposal the applicable technology area. All responses should be sent to: NASA Glenn Research Center, 21000 Brookpark Road, Cleveland, OH 44135 Attn: Ernest C. Mensurati, MS 500-319 or via e-mail to Ernest.C.Mensurati@nasa.gov. The due date for submission is COB March 30, 2003. The NASA GRC Technical Point of Contact is Gerald M. Hill, (216) 433-5692. The NASA GRC Procurement Point of Contact is Ernest C. Mensurati, (216) 433-2727. Partners are sought for the following technology areas: 1) Rotating Components and Seals ? Turbine Based Combined Cycle (TBCC) High Temperature Bearings and Seals, Metallic Disks and Rotors, Static and Sliding Seals, Ceramic Turbine Blades. 2) Propulsion Flowpath Components ? Cooled Panels, High Speed Inlets, Large Static Ceramic Structures. 3) Engineering Capability Development ? Ram Combustion, Air Augmented Rocket, and Ejector Ramjet Physics; Test Instrumentation, Integrated Thermal Balance, and Wide Operating Range Design Techniques (Inlets, Turbomachinery, Isolators, Afterburners, Combustors and Nozzles).
