Reliance Consolidated Models Contract VII (RECOM VII)

The Reliance Consolidated Models Contract VII (RECOM VII) is a forecasted procurement by NASA’s Langley Research Center aimed at securing the design and fabrication of advanced aerospace model systems and developmental test hardware essential for spaceflight, flight testing, and ground-based research. These precision systems integrate mechanical and electronic components, leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as smart materials, stereolithography, and rapid prototyping with plastics, polymers, and metals to support experimental research and development in aerospace applications. The work will be performed at the contractor’s facility and in Virginia, ensuring close alignment with NASA’s testing and validation infrastructure. This contract supports the creation of high-fidelity prototypes critical to advancing spacecraft and flight systems through iterative design and testing cycles. The contract falls under NAICS code 541715, indicating its focus on research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences, specifically tailored to aerospace innovation. As a forecasted opportunity, the solicitation number is not yet available, and no set-aside provisions have been designated, suggesting it is open to all qualified vendors. The absence of a designated point of contact or precise location details implies that formal submission guidelines and specific performance locations will be published in future solicitations. Contractors are expected to demonstrate expertise in developing complex, high-precision experimental hardware and staying current with emerging manufacturing and materials technologies to meet NASA’s rigorous developmental standards.
