2/18/25, 1:57 PM FLIGHT SERVICES FOR DESCENT AND LANDING TESTBED VEHICLES
Added: Nov 06, 2013 9:34 pm
This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. <p> This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ)] for FLIGHT SERVICES FOR DESCENT AND LANDING TESTBED VEHICLES. <p> NASA/ARC has a requirement for the acquisition of commercial flight services to fly technology payloads on propulsively controlled vertical landing rockets that accommodate both open-loop flight and closed-loop flight with the payload in the guidance, navigation, and control loop of the vehicle. The NASA Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) Flight Opportunities Program (hereafter the Program) works towards maturing the flight readiness of crosscutting technologies that advance multiple future space missions. The Program acquires commercial flight and payload integration services to fly technology payloads on missions to help achieve the goals of the STMD. A specific component of this effort is the testing of innovative technologies that require flight on propulsively controlled vertical landing rockets, including closed-loop flight with the payload in the guidance, navigation, and control loop of the vehicle. This requirement was not initially anticipated by the Program but has subsequently received interest for testing technologies for use during the entry, decent, and landing phase of a space mission and other applications. To meet the objectives for testing these technologies, the Program intends to acquire flight services on vehicles that mimic the relevant environment needed for these new testing requirements. The relevant environment specifically sought in this solicitation is flight on board, and in control of, a propulsively controlled rocket during hovering, cross range and down range translation, and vertical landing maneuvers. <p> NASA ARC anticipates award of one or more Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) commercial contracts in accordance with FAR 16.504 and 12.207(c)(1) under which firm fixed price task orders for flight services will be issued.
