About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Langley Research Center intends to release a solicitation on October 25, 2021 for a Dragonfly Parachute Decelerator Subsystem to support its Dragonfly mission to Titan. The subsystem must be designed, fabricated, tested and qualified to NASA requirements for use in planetary entry, descent and landing missions. Industry feedback is requested on the draft Statement of Work, requirements attachments and data requirement documents by October 19, 2021. Proposals are due November 30, 2021 and award is targeted for February 11, 2022.
No set-aside designation is specified. The predominate NAICS code is 336414 and PSC code is 1510. As the incumbent, Airborne Systems is likely involved, though budget details were unspecified. The parachute decelerator subsystem must support Titan landing operations between 2026-2034 with structural verification testing and qualification drop tests required at NASA facilities by 2025.
