About this file
This notice announces a potential multiple award indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract for flight and payload integration services. NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center intends to solicit offers to provide services using vehicles capable of meeting flight profiles that involve exposure to reduced or microgravity, high altitude, space environment, controlled descent and landing, or controlled ascent and descent. Typical platforms may include high-altitude balloons, spacecraft, sounding rockets, and vertical flight testbeds. Vehicles must be currently operational and able to accommodate a minimum 4kg payload at 4U cubesat volume. Required profiles involve payloads exposed to reduced gravity for over two minutes at over 80km altitude, exposure to near space at over 30km for over an hour, space environment and free fall descent from over 80km, controlled descent and vertical landing from over 250m, and controlled ascent and descent over 30km with potential reduced gravity. Interested parties should monitor for potential release of a request for proposal and direct any questions in writing by January 3, 2018. The NAICS code is 481212 and size standard is 1,500 employees.
