NASA GRC intends to purchase the items from Hamilton Sunstrand under a Cost-Plus-Incentive-Fee Contract. The Contractor has developed an engineering model of the EPCU under a current NASA GRC Contract, and the follow-on contract shall enable Hamilton Sundstrand to design, develop, test, evaluate, and deliver to the Government eight (8) protoflight EPCUs. The first unit shall be referred to as a qualification unit, and the remaining seven (7) shall be referred to as flight units. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. RFP will be released on or about 45 days after publication of this synopsis in the CBD.
