NASA/MSFC intends to purchase these services from ATK Launch Systems, Inc. on a sole source basis. The services to be performed are part of a follow-on effort from work previously performed on the Reusable Solid Rocket Motor (RSRM) and Space Launch System (SLS) Booster contract for the continued provision of highly specialized services. These motors use TP-H1148 RSRMV Propellant, Type VIII, STW5-12045, an ATK proprietary formula and casting process. ATK has unique experience with this particular cast design and with the new propellant formulation. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
