Model-Based Systems Analysis and Engineering for the Sustainable Flight National Partnership

NASA Glenn Research Center (NASA GRC) is hereby soliciting information from potential sources for Model-Based Systems Analysis and Engineering (MBSA&E) for the Sustainable Flight National Partnership (SFNP).

NASA GRC is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including all socioeconomic categories of Small Businesses and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI), and members of the underserved communities as defined by Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity And Support For Underserved Communities Through The Federal Government, for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for MBSA&E. The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Women-owned (WOSB), Service Disabled Veteran (SD- VOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-owned Small Business (EDWOSB) or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses received.

NASA Aeronautics is engaging with industry, academic, and other agencies through the Sustainable Flight National Partnership (SFNP) to accomplish the aviation community’s goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The SFNP is a significant undertaking, involving numerous NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate (ARMD) programs and projects with the unifying goal to identify, mature, and demonstrate technologies deemed enabling for a next-generation, subsonic, commercial aircraft. The Advanced Air Transport Technology (AATT) Project is a contributing member of the SFNP and is tasked with integrating simulation data, ground test data, and flight demonstration data for systems level vision vehicle performance and technology assessments. This effort toward collating and integrating technology and vehicle data across the SFNP has been dubbed Model-Based Systems Analysis & Engineering (MBSA&E) and is being led by the AATT Project. In order to accomplish this, NASA intends to collaborate with industry to stimulate innovation, develop key architectural and framework components for the envisaged MBSA&E framework, and develop critical advanced concept and technology-based model components to support the MBSA&E effort for the SFNP.

No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized on SAM.gov. Interested firms are responsible for monitoring this website for the release of any solicitation or synopsis.

Vendors having the capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to submit appropriate documentation, literature, brochures, and references.

All responses shall be submitted electronically via email to Eric Hartman, Contracting Officer, via e-mail at eric.t.hartman@nasa.gov no later than Friday, June 17, 2022, 4:30pm ET.

In addition to the above, interested parties are requested to provide the following:

• Name and address of organization

• Point of contact (POC) information (name, phone, and email address).

• Company CAGE Code and Business Size (including applicable socioeconomic categories)

This notice is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited.

Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. Respondents deemed fully qualified will be considered in any resultant solicitation for the requirement.
