- Description
- RECOVERY ACT - THE NASA GLENN RESEARCH CENTER (GRC) HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED UNDER THEAMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 TO ISSUE A TASK ORDER FOR ENGINEERINGSUPPORT SERVICES UNDER THE PREVIOUSLY AWARDED, COMPETITIVE 8(a) CONTRACT NNC06BA07B WITHASRC AEROSPACE CORPORATION. THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. BACKGROUND: NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) has committed support for specific effortsunder the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. ARRA funds for NASAsFundamental Aero Program are being utilized to help design and fabricate combustor rigimprovements to enable testing of advanced low nitrogen oxide (NOx) injector designs. The production of greenhouse gas emissions generated by aircraft exhaust, emissions suchas carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxide (NOX) and water vapor will increase in proportionwithin the air transportation industry. As a result, NASAs Fundamental Aero Program hasestablished goals to reduce fuel burn in future aircraft, reduced fuel burn correlates toreduced CO2 and NOX emissions.This task will help design combustor rig improvementsthat will enable jet engine manufacturers to test low emission jet engine combustors. Methods to test alternative fuel technologies (e.g., Fischer-Tropsch) need to bedeveloped for aircraft applications to reduce emissions, improve performance, anddecrease the nation's dependence on oil. The Advanced Subsonic Combustion Rig located atthe NASA Glenn Research Center is a high-pressure, high-temperature combustion rig thatsimulates combustor inlet test conditions. The Advanced Subsonic Combustion Rig isequipped to measure both gas emissions and perform nonintrusive laser diagnostic emissiontesting in a high pressure high temperature environment that mimics the conditions ofhigh pressure ratio jet engine combustor section. This unique combustion test rig allowsresearchers and engine companies to test sector combustors that will be used in futureaircraft engines.NASA GRC intends to issue a task order under existing contract NNC06BA07B to procureengineering services to support the design efforts to upgrade the Advanced SubsonicCombustion Rigs fuel subsystem to enable testing of alternate fuels to both the SectorRig and the Flametube test stands. Upgrades will increase the Advanced SubsonicCombustion Rigs testing capabilities to enable testing of jet engine combustors usingboth jet engine fuels and alternate fuels, separately or together. Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice. This announcement will not result in a Request for Proposal; this announcement is forinformational purposes only. All questions and/or concerns must be submitted in writingto points of contact contained herein. An Ombudsman has been appointed. See NASA Specific Note "B".
