TO: All Potential Offerors

SUBJECT: Request for Proposal (DRFP), Solicitation No. 80JSC025R7004, for the Advanced Spacesuit Regulator (ASR)

You are invited to submit a proposal in response to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center’s (JSC) Advanced Spacesuit Regulator (ASR) Contract solicitation. The principal purpose of this requirement is to provide a next-generation oxygen regulator for spacesuits, designed to meet the highest standards of functionality and safety. This advanced system will play a crucial role in supporting mission objectives and will serve as an essential component for future NASA and commercial missions to the Moon and beyond. Additionally, the ASR acquisition may address the evolving needs of other NASA Centers, including enhancements to oxygen regulation systems, integration of advanced filtration technologies, and electronic control mechanisms for precise set-pressure adjustments.

NASA will conduct this acquisition as a full and open competition. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this acquisition is 336419, Other Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. Under this NAICS code, the Small Business Size Standard is 1,050 employees.

The contract type is Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF). NASA reserves the right to award a single contract, multiple contracts, or none at all, based on the proposals received in response to this solicitation. An approved accounting system is required for award per M.3(b)(2) of this document.

Offerors may propose a period of performance for the base period, as well as Options 1 and 2. The period covered by this procurement shall commence on the contract award date and if all three options are exercised, conclude on July 30, 2027. Since this is not a follow-on acquisition, no phase-in period is applicable. Offerors should refer to Section L.9, JSC 52.215-126 PERIOD COVERED BY PROCUREMENT (AUG 2018) for submission requirements related to the performance period.

The anticipated contract award date will be October 1, 2025, or sooner with an immediate effective date. The contract will be performed primarily offsite at the contractor’s chosen facility. Additional testing may be performed onsite at NASA facilities, including but not limited to Johnson Space Center and White Sands Test Facility, as outlined in the Statement of Work, or via technical direction.

Potential offerors should pay close attention to all solicitation instructions; however, the following requirements list is summarized to assist in proposal development:

1. Potential Offerors should ensure its company is listed in the online database(s) for the following:

6. Direct partnerships or subcontractor agreements with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and/or NASA Centers for the purpose of performing the tasks required in the ASR contract will not be allowed. Any agreements with JPL and/or NASA will be coordinated through the Government Task Agreement (GTA) process as outlined in H.10, Use of Government Resources.

7. NASA/JSC appreciates the comments received in response to the release of the Draft RFP.

These comments resulted in improvements to the quality and content of the overall RFP.

1.2 BACKGROUND

The Advanced Spacesuit Regulator (ASR) is the chief component in the Portable Life Support System (PLSS) Oxygen Assemblies. The ASR provides the necessary oxygen pressure control for the crew member during prebreathe, EVA, post EVA airlock operations, and Decompression Sickness (DCS) treatment. Historically, regulators used in EVA suits such as the Apollo and Shuttle EMUs provided a mechanically actuated oxygen regulation with one or two set points. Experience gained during EVA operations, and advancement in technologies have driven the need for new, electronically settable regulator assemblies that provide spacesuit oxygen pressure regulation for a variety of mission scenarios and operating conditions. These objectives drove the development of the current xEMU motor-settable mechanical regulator design that is a very complicated, long lead, and expensive regulator design that is difficult to produce in volume. However, NASA’s current and future budget and schedule challenges, result in a need to explore novel regulator designs capable of achieving the performance and reliability requirements while offering reduced cost and schedule burdens in production. These needs resulted in the concept for an ASR, defined in CTSD-ADV- 2241, Advanced Spacesuit Regulator End Item Specification for the Exploration Portable Life Support Subsystem (xPLSS). The ASR is intended to be a modular, drop-in solution that can be implemented within the existing government reference design spacesuit, the Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit (xEMU).

1.3 SCOPE OF EFFORT

The work performed and products delivered shall conform to the requirements defined in this SOW and in the documents listed below with reference to the compliance matrix provided in Section 1.4:

CTSD-ADV-2241 Rev Basic Advanced Spacesuit Regulator End Item Specification for the Exploration Portable Life Support Subsystem (xPLSS)

All efforts in this contract are in support for a planned completion date of Option 2 no later than June 30, 2027. The Baseline and Option 1 scope of this SOW are organized to provide review and testing milestones to validate the ASR design before delivering the final QTY 6 units under the scope of Options 2 and 3.

1.3.1 BASE

The Contractor shall provide all materials (less the equipment and facilities listed in Section 3), tooling, analysis tools, and labor required to complete the effort defined in this SOW.

The overall scope of activities to be performed are as follows:

1) ASR Planning

a) Develop a detailed project schedule based on deliverable dates provided in Section 2.0

b) Develop a Verification and Validation plan for verification of Base, Option 1, Option 2, and

Option 3 requirements

2) ASR Design Work

a) Perform the necessary non-recurring engineering (design, drafting, analyses, testing, etc.) to develop a working prototype of an ASR. While the EDU is not intended to be tested with O2, is should still be designed and built for O2 compatibility.

b) Develop a preliminary computer aided design (CAD) model and drawing set

3) ASR Build

a) Manufacture Qty 1 Engineering Development Unit (EDU) ASR

4) ASR EDU DVT

a) Conduct Design Verification Testing (DVT) to demonstrate the ASR EDU’s performance.

DVT includes all functional verifications to prove the EDUs perform adequately and meet the most basic functional requirements. By the end of this phase, all DVT verifications shall be completed to prove functional requirements can be met or mitigated. These tests are defined in CTSD-ADV-2241, Section 5.

Note: This testing may be conducted at the Contractor, a Sub-Contractor, or NASA facilities.

The Contractor shall include a preliminary test plan identifying required NASA testing resources as part of their response to this SOW. Available NASA Facilities are shown in Section 3.

5) ASR Critical Design Review (CDR)

a) Conduct an in-person CDR at the Johnson Space Center (JSC) to demonstrate that the maturity of the design is appropriate to support proceeding with full-scale fabrication, assembly, integration, and test. The CDR determines that the technical effort is on track to complete the system development, meeting functional and performance requirements within the identified cost and schedule constraints at an acceptable risk.
