- Description
- NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) has a protoflight heat straps requirementto accommodate changes to the James Webb Space Telecope (JWST) recently mandated by theReturn to Green (RTG) thermal resdesign activity. Based on the RTG study, it has beendetermined that two of the five existing heat strap systems already built for the JWSTmust be modified/rebuilt to channel heat from the instruments to new deployable radiatorsin different locations, in order to restore acceptable thermal margins to the cryogenicobservatory. NASA intends to procure the services from Utah State University Research Foundation(USURF) pursuant to 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), in support of Goddard Space Flight Centers(GSFC) James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Therefore, due to the nature of the work to be performed and the accessibility to thecurrent hardware and materials, the experience of the vendor, and the urgency ofschedule, it is necessary to award a sole source procurement to Utah State UniversityResearch Foundation.
