Description
On April 5, 2018, the second paragraph was revised to change the "on or about" release of the draft Appendix for comment from March 20, 2018, to April 23, 2018. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is releasing a pre-solicitation notice followed by a Draft NASA Research Announcement (NRA) Appendix entitled "Developing Specialty Manufacturing Processes for Rapid Analysis and Manufacturing Propulsion Technology (RAMPT) (80HQTR18NOA01-18GCD-C1)". This solicitation is being conducted under Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) umbrella NRA titled "Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion 2018 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2018). The RAMPT project is a currently funded effort within STMD with a completion date of FY2021. The purpose of this notice is to announce an opportunity for potential offerors to submit comments on the draft Appendix, which will be posted to NSPIRES on or about April 23, 2018. Proposed efforts to this Appendix must be led by U.S. industry defined as for-profit businesses that are incorporated in the United States of America. Full eligibility requirements/restrictions will be provided as part of the draft and final appendix. The RAMPT project will evolve light-weight large scale additive and novel manufacturing techniques specific to regeneratively-cooled thrust chamber assemblies (TCA) for liquid rocket engines. Three key technology areas will be covered under this DRAFT solicitation: 1) Composite-overwrap manufacturing for TCA, 2) Large-scale blown-powder deposition technology for TCA, and 3) Bimetallic joint technologies for TCA. This project is planning to pursue public-private partnerships and provide process development data and technology improvements across the propulsion and related industries. Potential offerors shall be domestic manufacturing vendors interested in developing a supply chain offering relative to these technologies for the greater industry of government and commercial partners. All responsible domestic sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. The award instrument will be a firm-fixed-price contract with milestone payments tied to technical achievement. The purpose of the draft NRA Appendix is to solicit industry comments and questions prior to issuance of the final Appendix. Questions/comments are strongly encouraged from potential offerors on all aspects of the draft Appendix. The industry input to the draft Appendix will be considered in formulating the final Appendix. NASA is not requesting proposals in response to this draft Appendix, does not intend to make an award on the basis of this draft Appendix or to pay for any information received regarding this draft Appendix. The anticipated release date of the final Appendix is on or about April 27, 2018 with an anticipated closing date of on or about June 26, 2018. The date for receipt of proposals will be stated in the final Appendix. A Virtual Industry Forum will be held via telecom. The specifics on the Virtual Industry Forum will be provided in the draft Appendix. During the Virtual Industry Form, NASA will provide an overview of the solicitation and provide preliminary feedback on the questions and comments received to date. Potential offerors will also be given a chance to ask questions or make comments. Interested parties should note that submitted questions and the corresponding answers will be posted on the NASA Solicitation and Proposal Integrated Review and Evaluation System (NSPIRES) website prior to or at release of the final Appendix. NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html. The draft NRA Appendix and any other documents related to this procurement will be available by opening NSPIRES homepage at http://nspires.nasaprs.com/ by selecting "Solicitations," then selecting "Open Solicitations," and, finally, selecting "Developing Specialty Manufacturing Processes for Rapid Analysis and Manufacturing Propulsion Technology (RAMPT) Appendix." It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor the Internet site and/or NSPIRES for the release of the draft and final Appendix and amendments (if any). All questions must be submitted in writing to HQ-STMD-RAMPT@nasaprs.com ; Telephone questions will not be accepted.
