Contract Overview

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

AI Contract Overview

This contract opportunity invites partners to collaborate on developing a mechanical cryo-cooler design for a mission concept responding to NASA’s Small Explorers (SMEX) Announcement of Opportunity (AO). The key objective is to contribute to the proposal preparation as part of the mission team, with proposals expected no earlier than January 2008. NASA plans to select 6 to 8 mission concepts for Phase A concept studies, ultimately choosing up to 3 missions for flight. During the AO proposal cycle, no funds will be exchanged between teaming partners, but limited funding may be provided if selected for Phase A studies, with formal funding awarded for flight missions based on proposal budgets. Offerors must submit a written package detailing their technical approach for the cryo-cooler, plans to support the AO proposal and Phase A study, their ability to meet the mission schedule, and prior experience with cryogenic space telescopes and instrumentation. The response deadline is August 10, 2007, with submissions accepted electronically. This partnership solicitation does not guarantee government commitment or payment for information. Documentation will be provided in Microsoft Office formats and accessible via a NASA procurement website, which interested parties must monitor for updates. Questions and communications should be directed to the designated NASA contact provided.

Full Description

The proposal opportunity is to the NASA Announcement of Opportunity (AO) for Small Explorers (SMEX) . The goal is to develop a mission concept to be proposed for the SMEX AO, to be proposed no earlier than January 2008. Based on the proposals, NASA HQ is expected to select 6 to 8 mission concepts for a Phase A concept study, after which 3 missions may be selected for flight. This partnership opportunity is being issued to select a teaming partner(s) to: - Develop the mechanical cryo-cooler design for the mission During the proposal preparation period, the offeror will participate as part of the mission proposal team. The offeror shall provide statement of work the offeror is proposing to provide. Your written offer package shall include the following: - The technical approach for the mechanical cryo-cooler - The approach for supporting the AO proposal as well as the mission concept Phase A study. - The ability to meet the mission schedule as defined in this document. - Demonstration of previous contributions to cryogenic space telescopes and instrumentation. There will be no exchange of funds between the teaming partners for the AO proposal cycle. If the proposed mission is selected for a Phase A Concept Study, limited funding will be available according to the budget developed during proposal preparation. If the proposed mission is selected for flight, partner(s) will be funded according to the budget developed during AO proposal phase. Questions about this POD should be directed to Julie Crooke (Phone: +1 (555) 000-0000, Email: contact@example.gov). The response of the POD is due 5 pm EST on August 10, 2007.
