Contract Overview

Solicitation details, issuing organization, response deadlines, documents, and interested companies for this government contract opportunity.

AI Contract Overview

NASA's Glenn Research Center is tasked with developing the Thrust Vector Control (TVC) system for the upper stage of the ARES I launch vehicle, including building a hydraulics breadboard system to test TVC hydraulic components. A key element in this evaluation is a motor-driven hydraulic pump, with the agency seeking feedback from potential vendors regarding the performance specifications, delivery feasibility, and optional feature costs outlined in the draft document. While certain items have no minimum performance requirements, NASA requests vendors to provide relevant information on them. Comments are to be submitted by March 2, 2007, ahead of the anticipated solicitation release around March 5, 2007. The solicitation references NAICS code 333996 and focuses on the assembly of the circulation motor and pump for the breadboard testing. The agency is specifically interested in vendor insights on the practicality and cost considerations of the required and optional features to ensure the system meets development goals on schedule.

Full Description

NASA, Glenn Research Center is charged with developing the Thrust Vector Control (TVC) system for the Upper-Stage of the new ARES I launch vehicle. As part of this program we will be building a hydraulics breadboard system to evaluate the TVC hydraulic system components. A motor driven hydraulic pump is one of the TVC hydraulic system components that will be under evaluation during this breadboard testing. Comments from potential vendors are requested on the reasonableness of the required performance specifications as outlined in the attached draft specification, the feasibility of the delivery date, and the availability and cost of the optional desired features (items 27 and 32 in the attachment). Please note that for items 25 and 26, there are no minimum required performance capabilities, but NASA will want this information from the successful offeror. Please direct your responses to the Technical Point of Contact identified below no later than Friday, March 2, 2007. NASA anticipates releasing the actual solicitation for this requirement on or about March 5, 2007.
