Ground Demonstration Planning

NASA Glenn Research Center is seeking a subcontractor to develop comprehensive ground test plans for open fan propulsion technology, focusing on detailed configurations, instrumentation setups, and robust safety protocols to support demonstration efforts. The work requires the design and documentation of test procedures that validate performance under controlled conditions, ensuring accurate data collection and operational safety during high-fidelity engine testing. The contract is classified under NAICS code 541330 and is open for proposals until August 3, 2026, with responses due by 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The project is part of a broader initiative to advance next-generation propulsion systems and will involve close coordination with NASA’s technical teams to meet mission objectives and regulatory standards for aerospace testing.
