Support design and structural analysis for Hiwrap, MBARS, CRS and COSSIR instruments on the NASA WB57 aircraft
Solicitation # 80NSSC27947412Q
The NASA Shared Services Center is seeking support for the design and structural analysis of mechanical interfaces for microwave instruments to be flown on a 6-foot pallet within the NASA WB-57 aircraft. The scope of work specifically covers the High-Altitude Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler (HIWRAP), Microwave Barometric Radar and Sounder (MBARS) or Cloud Radar System (CRS), and the Configurable Scanning Submillimeter-wave Instrument/Radiometer (COSSIR). Key deliverables include the design of a 18.5-inch diameter Gaussian optics lens antenna in a nadir configuration, a second Ku-band antenna with a 12-inch aperture and aluminum flat splash-plate reflector, and structural mounting plates for electronics boxes. All designs and mechanical analyses must adhere to the WB-57 Experimenter’s Handbook AOD 33890 Rev C PCN 2, with specific technical requirements for mirror flatness better than 150 microns and surface roughness no more than 50 microns. NASA intends to issue a sole source contract to Welch Mechanical Designs, LLC under the authority of FAR 12.102(a), as they have been determined to be the sole provider for these services. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 541715 and will be conducted as a commercial acquisition per FAR Part 12. While the NASA Shared Services Center is the procuring center, performance will be located at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. The period of performance extends from the date of task award through April 1, 2027. Interested organizations may submit capability statements by November 9, 2026, to determine if the procurement will be conducted on a competitive basis; however, formal quotes will not be evaluated at this stage.
