TASK ORDER RFP

Reverse Osmosis Hardware

Funding Organization: ISS Program Task Order Manager: (NASA JSC) Technical Monitor: (NASA JSC)

Type of Task Order: Cost Plus Fixed Fee with Deductions

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The International Space Station (ISS) Program is asking the Offerors to utilize their commercial approaches defined in their response to DRD REMIS-PM-01, Commercialization Approach (CA), to develop Reverse Osmosis (RO) Hardware.

In support of the NASA Exploration initiatives, it is highly desirable to have a capability to purify recycled water for drinking purposes. Current systems require significant logistics support to perform this function. NASA desires technology development for water purification that will be sustainable for Exploration purposes. The intent of this Task Order is to demonstrate technology that will enable a sustainable means for recycling water on human Exploration missions.

2.0 REQUIREMENTS

NASA requests development of a standalone RO water processing system for technology demonstration on the ISS. The system design should take into account the potential incorporation of the system as an initial processor in a full water processing system design for an exploration spacecraft.

1. The RO system shall receive a combination of urine distillate and humidity condensate and shall remove the majority of inorganics and nonvolatile organics. The offeror’s proposal shall provide a definition of the percent (%) reduction of the concentration of each of the following contaminants from the inlet water:

a. Inorganic contaminants;

b. Nonvolatile organic contaminants;

c. Semi-volatile organic contaminants (such as siloxanes).

2. The system shall be capable of operating at a minimum pressure of 55-60 psig and a flowrate of 11-13 lbm/day, processing up to 11 liters of urine distillate and humidity condensate water per day at a recovery rate of at least 85%.

3. A means to regenerate the membrane in-situ is highly desired.

4. The ISS demonstration shall be located in an EXpedite the PRocessing of Experiments to Space Station (EXPRESS) Rack.

5. The system shall meet the requirements of SSP 57000 Rev R, Pressurized Payloads Interface Requirements Document. Double middeck locker size is the desired target.

6. For the ISS demonstration, the influent water will either be provided on-orbit in:

a. An ISS water storage bag at ambient pressure (reference JSC-65683, Interface Definition Document [IDD] for the Iodine Compatible Water Containers [ICWC]), or

b. Provided directly from the wastewater bus at a positive pressure of 8 psig via interface to Quick Disconnect (QD) part number 505101-1229 (vendor: Parker Hannifin Corp).

The RO system shall be compatible with both influent water interfaces. Use of adapters is acceptable.

7. The effluent water shall be either:

a. Distributed into an ISS water storage bag (reference JSC-65683), or

b. Distributed directly into the wastewater bus via interface to QD part number 505101-1229 (vendor: Parker Hannifin Corp). The system will have to overcome the 8 psig pressure of the wastewater bus.

The RO system shall be compatible with both effluent water interfaces. Use of adapters is acceptable.

8. To validate the on-orbit system performance, a means to collect samples of the effluent water shall be provided via a connector that must interface to connector part number 415067 (vendor: B Braun, Bethlehem, PA).

9. The brine generated by the RO system shall be collected and distributed into a water storage bag provided as Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) by NASA. The Offeror shall be responsible to ensure that the bag is not overfilled. The water bag interfaces are defined in JSC- 65683.

10. Because NASA desires the RO system to be used as a technology demonstration pathfinder for potential future use in exploration systems, it is desirable that the amount of logistics for crew time and upmass for consumables and spares be minimal. Therefore, the Offerors shall provide an estimate of the yearly RO operations maintenance hours and upmass for consumables and Orbital Replacement Units (ORUs) used.

11. The RO system shall have an on-orbit operational design life of 2 years.

12. The Contractor shall provide all data rights as required by Section I, Clause I.A.1, Data Rights Notice.

3.0 STATEMENT OF WORK

In accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW), sections 2.0 through 4.0 and their subsections, this Task Order (TO) is requiring Offerors to deliver the RO hardware system utilizing the Offeror’s Commercialization Approach, per REMIS-PM-01.
