About this opportunity

This Special Notice is from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. NASA intends to issue a sole source contract to Wichita State University for "ESS Module Testing Phase 2" to conduct testing on energy storage systems (ESS) used in electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The purpose is to determine the survivability of these ESS modules during dynamic impact events to support airworthiness certification.

The Statement of Work requires the contractor to perform three 50-foot drop tests of NASA-provided ESS modules, provide temporary storage and transportation, instrument the modules, record high-speed video, and coordinate with NASA on the test plan. The period of performance is through September 30, 2024. NASA intends to acquire these commercial services under FAR Part 12 and 13. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities in writing by April 15, 2024 to be considered for a competitive procurement, though NASA has determined Wichita State University is the sole provider for this effort.
