U.S. Economic Impact and Industrial Base Assessment

The contract seeks to evaluate the domestic manufacturing capabilities, supply chain resilience, and workforce implications associated with proposed aerospace technologies, with the goal of demonstrating measurable U.S. economic benefits. The assessment will focus on how these technologies strengthen the American industrial base by identifying job creation potential, local production scalability, and the reduced vulnerability of critical supply chains to external disruptions. This analysis must provide evidence-based insights that support strategic investment decisions and underscore the broader economic return on federal aerospace innovation spending. The opportunity is structured as a subcontract under NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center, with a North American Industry Classification System code of 541611, indicating a focus on management, scientific, and technical consulting services. Proposals are due by May 7, 2026, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time, following a public posting on May 5, 2026. There is no set-aside designation specified, and the work is expected to be performed domestically, though the precise location of performance is unlisted. While contact information is not provided, interested parties must submit through the SAM.gov portal to be considered for award.
