- Description
- NASA Langley Research Center plans to issue a NASA Research Announcement (NRA) for Advanced Aerodynamic and Structures Technologies for Subsonic Transport Vehicles under the 21st Century Aircraft Technology Program (TCAT). Specifically, the NRA plans to solicit proposals for the research, development, and demonstration in two topic areas: 1.) Aerodynamic technologies and 2.) Structures technologies. Each topic area will attempt to improve the performance and efficiency (i.e. reduce the aerodynamic drag or structural weight of future subsonic transport vehicles). The definition of transport air vehicle for this solicitation will include both commercial and military vehicles ranging in size from long-haul carriers to regional and business jets.. The development of new computational tools and experimental techniques is excluded from this NRA. The NRA will be awarded in two Phases. Phase I, or the screening phase, will be focused on evaluating the technology or system for benefits, feasibility, and demonstration that the technology has already achieved a Technology Readiness Level (TRL). A TRL of 3 is characterized as "analytical and experimental critical function and/or characteristic proof-of-concept" for which active research and development has been initiated. This includes analytical and laboratory studies to physically validate analytical predictions of separate elements of the technology. Examples include components that are not yet integrated or representative of the final "product." The planned duration of Phase I activities is six months. Up to 10 awards (covering both topics) may be made in fiscal year 2003 with an anticipated funding of each award to be approximately $100K. Phase II, or the implementation phase, will be focused on the maturation, development, and validation of the technology. In Phase II, the most promising concepts resulting from Phase I will be selected for further development. Funding in the amount of $500K up to $1M per award is expected to be available for Phase II activities in each of fiscal years 2004, 2005, and 2006. Up to 5 awards may be made for Phase II activities which may range up to three years in duration. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12, see Note 26. The NAICS Code and Size Standard is 54171 and 1,500 respectively. The DPAS rating for this procurement is DO-C9 All qualified responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency. The anticipated release date of the NRA is on or about January 31, 2003, with an anticipated offer due date of on or about April 4, 2003. An ombudsman has been appointed-See NASA Specific Note "B". The NRA will be available over the Internet. These documents will be in Microsoft Office 97 format and will reside on a World Wide Web (WWW) server, which may be accessed using a WWW browser application. The Internet site, or URL, for the NASA/LaRC Business Opportunities home page is: <A HREF="http://nais.msfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=C&pin-23"> http://nais.msfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=C&pin-23</A> At the time of NRA release, prospective offerors shall notify this office of their intent to submit an offer. To assist NASA in maintaining a list of interested offerors for this potential requirement, please provide your company name, a point of contact, address, phone number, e-mail address, and business size under the above NAICS code to the following e-mail address: R.S.Johnston@larc.nasa.gov. It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor the Internet site for the release of the NRA and amendments (if any). Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the solicitation and amendments (if any).
