- Description
- RECOVERY THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THE NASA DRYDENFLIGHT RESEARCH CENTER (DFRC) HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED UNDER THE AMERICAN RECOVERY ANDREINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 TO ISSUE A TASK ORDER TO THE NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION (NGC)UNDER CONTRACT NND08GH01B FOR GLOBAL HAWK ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT.DFRC intends to issue Task Order NND09GH20T titled: Engineering Support for Integrationof the Land, Vegetation, And Ice Sensor (LVIS) Instrument onto the NASA Global Hawk. TaskOrder NND09GH20T is to provide engineering support for the integration of LVIS on theNASA Global Hawk. The instrument shall utilize a government furnished instrument supportstructure (ISS) which utilizes the design developed for mounting the Cloud Physics Lidar(CPL) instrument in Zone-3, nose mounted instrument bay, of the aircraft. This taskcovers the engineering analysis of the instrument-support structure and other generalintegration-related support necessary to accommodate the modifications of the ISS neededfor the LVIS and the mounting of the LVIS unique electronic enclosures.This task order is wholly funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)of 2009 and as such is subject to all requirements imposed by the legislation. Theserequirements are mandatory and are subject to monitoring and auditing by the Governmentthroughout the contract performance period.
