L-A2-C2

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The International Space Station (ISS) Program is asking the Offerors to utilize their commercial approaches defined in their response to REMIS-PM-01, Commercialization Approach (CA), to develop a Galley Commercial Refrigerator/Freezer (GRFCRF) for use by the ISS Crew.

Currently, Microgravity Experiment Research Locker Incubator (MERLIN) refrigerator/incubators support both science samples and the crew galley function. The MERLINs were developed to be used by science, providing a temperature range of -200C to +48.50C; however, 2 units have been used to support the ISS Galley function since 2008 to provide a refrigerator/freezer for crew food and drink consumables. Given the loss of one MERLIN on SpX-7 launch failure and the aging MERLIN fleet, it is desired to replace the 2 MERLINs that are being used for the galley with new assets and return the MERLINs in the galley to the inventory to support science samples.

The intent of this Task Order is to identify a commercial or modified commercial solution. The GalleyCommercial Refrigerator/Freezer units will operate in the Galley Rack which has interfaces that are very similar to an EXpedite the PRocessing of Experiments to Space Station (EXPRESS) Rack.

2.0 REQUIREMENTS

NASA requests development of a standalone modified commercial refrigerator and freezer for accommodation of crew preference items on the ISS. The GalleyCommercial Refrigerator/Freezer (GRFCRF) shall:

1. Provide the capability in refrigerator mode to maintain steady state temperatures between +20C to +60C.

2. Provide the capability in freezer mode to maintain steady state temperatures between -50C to -250C.

3. Interface to the ISS Galley Rack in accordance with S683-95989 Critical Item Development Specification (CIDS) for the ISS Galley Rack.

4. Meet the applicable interface requirements from SSP 57000R ISS Payload Interface Requirements Document (IRD).

5. Be operable with steady state power of less than 100 watts if air cooled or 200 watts if water cooled. Power can be provided either via the Galley Rack interface or the 120 VAC Inverter.

6. Be compatible with the microgravity environment, as demonstrated on the ground by operating in several orientations, including “upside down”, with the worst case cabin temperature defined in SSP 57000R.

7. Fit into an ISS EXPRESS Locker or the space in the Galley Rack allocated to one. (Reference LS-30120-2A, ISS Locker Interface Definition Document (IDD) and SEG46117022, ISS Single Stowage Locker Assembly.)

8. Provide a capability for the crew to select the refrigerator or freezer mode of the GRFCRF.

9. Provide a capability for the crew to know the current temperature within the GRFCRF.

10. Provide a capability for internal temperature monitoring and recording and for subsequent download to the ground.

11. Have an operational design life of greater than 2 years, assuming continuous operation, without any maintenance.

The Offeror’s proposal shall provide a definition of:

1. The internal usable volume,

2. Logistics requirements, and

3. Mass.

3.0 STATEMENT OF WORK

In accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW), sections 2.0 through 4.0 and their subsections, this TO is requiring Offerors to:

1. Provide a GalleyCommercial Refrigerator/Freezer (GRFCRF) meeting the requirements as stated in this TO, utilizing the Offeror’s Commercialization Approach (CA), per REMIS-PM-01.

a. SOW paragraphs 2.2, 2.2.1, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 may be satisfied utilizing processes defined in the Offeror’s CA, upon acceptance of the CA by the Government.

2. Provide support for up to 180 additional calendar days after the first hardware unit is delivered to NASA to support the hardware flight, installation and initial operations. This includes being available to address any training questions. The support requested for this phase is limited to 150 hours.

3. Provide a 1 year warranty after delivery of the hardware to NASA.

a. Provide a replacement to NASA within 6 months or as negotiated with NASA.

4. Define any launch requirements, including any launch orientation requirements.

5. Define any special shipping and handling requirements.

6. Perform all the necessary integration functions to integrate the GRFCRF on ISS.
