Dea, Purchasing Agent, Phone (757)-864-2440, Fax (757) 864-8863, Email C.W.DEA@larc.nasa.gov WEB: Click here for the latest information about this notice, http://nais.nasa.gov/EPS/LaRC/date.html#1-128-GND.1153. E-MAIL: Cynthia W. Dea, C.W.DEA@larc.nasa.gov. This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). Thrust Mode Select Panel 2 EACH as follows: The Thrust Mode Select Panel provides the means for allowing the aircraft pilot to select a desired engine thrust mode during flights. When the pilot selects one of the seven controls (spec 4a through g, below) on the panel, electrical commands are transmitted to the on-board Thrust Management Computer (spec 3, below), which then directly commands the engines. Thrust Mode Select Panel Specifications: 1. Physical and electrical compatibility with Boeing 757-200 aircraft. 2. Physically and electrically identical to the following part numbers: a. General Electric part number 89954-143D6354G2 b. Boeing part number S241T200-154 3. Must electrically interface with Boeing part number S241T200-1405 Thrust Management Computer via ARINC 429 digital input and output busses. 4. Must have the following mode select controls with the functions listed: a. TO/GA Takeoff/Go Around thrust limit mode select request generated to Thrust Management Computer. Takeoff mode is selected when on the ground, and Go Around mode is selected when airborne. b. CLB Climb thrust limit mode select request generated to Thrust Management Computer. c. 1 First thrust derate mode selects fixed thrust reduction schedule 1. d. 2 Second thrust derate mode selects fixed thrust reduction schedule 2. e. CON Continuous thrust mode limit mode request generated to Thrust Management Computer. f. CRZ Cruise thrust mode limit mode request generated to Thrust Management Computer. g. TEMP SEL Selects an assumed temperature request from 0 to 70 degrees Centigrade to be generated to the Thrust Management Computer. This temperature is used to calculate the appropriate takeoff thrust limit. 5. Flight certification not required. 6. Used items acceptable with minimum manufacturer's warranty of 6 months repair or replace. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 97-02.
