STATEMENT OF WORK FORMAT

PrimeCircuits Inc.

PR: _____________________

The project is part of our ongoing efforts in the Planetary Magnetosphere Laboratory in support of radiation belt, energetic electron, and magnetotelluric studies. The procurement shall continue its electrical engineering design service for plasma wave analog systems. This includes the fabrication and I&T support of the preamps and electronic systems. The procurement will assist in the fabrication, testing, and integration of code 695's search coil systems, including the generation of analog system, parts procurement, board fabrication, board testing, I&T, and calibration of the pre-amps, power supply, and other analog systems associated with the instrumentation. Besides labor costs, funding will be provided for part procurement and board fabrication. The project lead will be in weekly contact with the instrument build lead and will participate in meetings. The task may require additional engineering support.

Note: Only use the sections that are applicable to your service procurement.

Background

Describes the project in very general terms.

NASA’s code 695 Planetary Magnetosphere Laboratory (PML) has been funded to build and improve on their patented search coil magnetic antenna to fly on a rocket experiment and a critical component of the new Lunar Gateway Network on the lunar surface. We requested PrimeCircuits Inc. design in support of these and other plasma and radio wave efforts due to search coil instrument heritage and expertise. This work will support board fabrication, assembly, and testing, along with calibration and I&T support.

Discusses the purpose of the project – in other words, why the project is being pursued and how it relates to other projects.

The project is part of our ongoing efforts in the PML in support of radiation belt and energetic electron studies. The rocket experiments will provide basic science data on the use of ion and electron beams as radio wave antenna.

Includes, as necessary, a summary of statutory authority or applicable regulations

Provides copies of pertinent background materials, including them in a Reference or Attachment.

Scope

Covers the general scope of the work the contractor will be performing; use “shall” statements to make the requirements binding.

PrimeCircuits Inc. shall perform electrical engineering design for PML’s standard and improved search coil flight instrument circuits. This includes the fabrication of the search coil sensor’s preamp and main electronics box. PrimeCircuits Inc. shall assist in the fabrication of code 695's search coil systems, including the generation of parts procurement, board fabrication, board testing and calibration of the pre-amps, power supply, and other analog systems associated with the instrumentation. Calibration activities and I&T support are included in the procurement. Besides labor costs, funding shall be provided for part procurement and board fabrication. The task may require additional engineering support.

Requirements

Describes detailed work and management requirements, including required meetings

The contractor shall be in weekly contact with the instrument build lead and shall participate in meetings.

Spells out more precisely what is expected of the contractor in the performance of the work.

Generation of parts procurement, board fabrication, board testing, calibration and system testing of the pre-amps, power supply, and other analog systems associated with the instrumentation.

Identifies any specialized expertise and services, training, and documentation, as applicable

The Contractor has specific expertise in the they were part of our 2005-2010 DSX search coil build and continued engineering and design for several sounding rocket missions including BEAM-PIE. In that role they also designed and built the preamps and main electronic board. We are performing a similar build now to that previous build, and the expertise of this contractor is critical.

Deliverables or Delivery Schedule

Clearly states the deliverables required, the schedule for delivery, the quantities, and to whom they should be delivered (can be service or supply) o Spring & Summer 2023: Pre-amp and processing board fabrication, Calibration support, I&T support for enhanced low frequency search coil IRAD/LMS projects o Fall 2023: Calibration support and I&T support for the IRAD/LMS project

Identifies the type of documentation (printed and electronic-such as maunuals) to be provided, as well as those quality indicators desired by the Government.

Copies of layout and schematic, fabricated parts documentation, test results (including calibration analysis) and record of purchases.

Place of Performance

This work will be performed at PrimeCircuits and in GSFC PML laboratory

Period of Performance

The completion of this design work is on or before September 30, 2023.
