- Description
- NASA/ARC plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the fabrication of carbon composite sub-structure elements to support the Heatshield for Extreme Entry Environment Technology (HEEET) Project heat shield material development. The composite sub structure is needed to support panel coupon testing of a variety of sizes as well as a quantity of two 1 meter sphere cone carrier structures to support the development of a complete entry vehicle engineering test unit (ETU). Background: The HEEET Project, co-funded by NASAs Space Technology Mission Directorate under the Game Changing Development Program (GCDP) and NASAs Science Mission Directorate (SMD), seeks to mature a game changing Woven Thermal Protection System (WTPS) technology to enable in-situ robotic science missions recommended by the NASA Research Council (NRC) Planetary Science Decadal Survey (PSDS) committee. A primary deliverable for the HEEET Project is an Engineering Test Unit (ETU). A flight-like woven TPS heat shield will be assembled on a flight-like carrier structure and put through a series of environmental tests.To accomplish this task, the HEEET Project requires contractor manufacturing support to fabricate the composite carrier structure and associated structural test coupons. The intent of the resulting solicitation will be to select a vendor to fabricate the ETU Carrier Structure (quantity 2), as well as composite panels acting as HEEET Sub-structure to support material test coupons, needed in a variety of shapes and sizes. A Draft Statement of Work is posted with this synopsis. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. This procurement is a total small business set-aside. The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 336419 and 1,000 employees respectively. All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.
