This federal contract award, valued at $306,706.00, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center to Aerodyn Engineering, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The contract is for the design, analysis, and fabrication of a specialized slip ring system to be used in the Langley Rotor Test Stand (LRTS) located in the 14- by 22-Foot Subsonic Tunnel.
The slip ring is a critical component required to operate the rotating shaft of the LRTS at 1400 RPM and provide over 100 million revolutions of service life. NASA determined that Aerodyn Engineering's unique cooling and lubrication technologies make them the most advantageous provider to meet these demanding requirements. The contract does not have a set-aside designation and is being awarded as a sole source under the authority of 41 U.S.C. 1901 and FAR 13.5 procedures. The contract requires Aerodyn to develop the custom slip ring, conduct detailed testing, and provide comprehensive installation and service manuals.
