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 Commercial Refrigerator/Freezer (CRF) 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 Commercial 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 /freezer for accommodation of crew preference items on the ISS. The Commercial Refrigerator/Freezer (CRF) shall:

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

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

3. Provide separate temperature readouts for the refrigerator and/or freezer

4. Interface to the ISS Galley Rack in accordance with applicable requirements in S683-95989 Critical Item Development Specification (CIDS) for the ISS Galley Rack and SSP 52000 IDD IRP N.

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

6. Be operable with steady state power of less than 100 watts power budget for either refrigeration or freezing and a 200 watt power budget if both are included in a single unit if air cooled or 200 watts power budget for either refrigeration or freezer and a 400 watt power budget if both are included in a single unit if water cooled. Power can will be provided either via the Galley Rack 28 VDC interface or the 120 VAC Inverter.

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

8. 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.)a single or double mid deck locker

9. Provide a capability for the crew to select the refrigerator or freezer mode of the CRF.

10. Provide a capability for the crew to know the current temperature within the CRF.

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

12. 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, for refrigerator/freezer

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 Commercial Refrigerator/Freezer (CRF) meeting the requirements as stated in this TO, utilizing the Offeror’s Commercialization Approach (CA), per REMIS-PM-01.
