Description

NASA/MSFC plans to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for VOLUTE DESIGN METHODOLOGY. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/MSFC intends to procure this R&D effort from Riverband Design Services, 4365 Hickory Drive, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33418. This R&D effort is to develop and demonstrate a volute design methodology for turbines and pumps, and to integrate the volute design methodology into an overall turbine aerodynamic design system. Specifically, the contractor shall develop a volute geometry generator; develop a volute meanline analysis methodology for turbines and pumps; demonstrate the geometry generator and meanline analyses for both turbine and pump applications; assist in integrating the geometry generator and mealine analysis into the turbine design system; support the installation of the software on a computer at MSFC; and support the demonstration of the design system for a turbine applications. This R&D effort is a continuation of the effort and needs to be compatible between the required enhancements and the currently available system. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. See Note 26. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to Kimberly R. Day no later than 4:30 p.m. local time.
