About this award

NASA Langley Research Center awarded a $306.7K firm fixed-price purchase order to Aerodyn Engineering, LLC (doing business as A E I) for the design, analysis, and fabrication of a specialized slip ring system for the Langley Rotor Test Stand (LRTS), located within the 14- by 22-Foot Subsonic Tunnel. The contract, awarded on March 13, 2025, with completion targeted for January 15, 2026, was procured as a sole source acquisition under FAR 13.5 procedures based on Aerodyn's unique technological capabilities in active cooling and lubrication technologies. Aerodyn Engineering, an Indianapolis-based small business with extensive aerospace and defense sector experience, was selected to develop a custom slip ring capable of operating at 1,400 RPM with a service life exceeding 100 million revolutions.

Under this contract, Aerodyn will deliver a complete custom slip ring assembly, including detailed design and analysis documentation, comprehensive testing at 1,400 RPM for a minimum of 4 hours, and full installation and service manuals with specific technical specifications. NASA will provide two complete slip ring assembly kits with all necessary components including cooling connectors, hoses, electrical connectors, and a lubrication cooling system pump cart to support fabrication and testing efforts. This procurement supports NASA's aeronautical research capabilities by providing critical instrumentation for the Langley Rotor Test Stand, which is essential for conducting subsonic wind tunnel testing and related rotary wing research activities. No set-aside provisions were applied to this contract award.
