About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Glenn Research Center (GRC) has a requirement for a multi-purpose battery emulator/tester and solar array simulator. NASA GRC intends to issue a sole source contract to acquire this commercial item from Anderson Electric Controls, Inc. under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The required system must have the capability to emulate lithium-ion and lead-acid battery chemistries, as well as generate programmable solar array outputs. Key technical requirements include an AC input of 480Vac, 3-phase, 60Hz and a bi-directional DC output of up to 250kW, 1000Vdc, and 1125A. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications by July 24, 2024 for consideration of a competitive procurement.
This acquisition is not set-aside. NASA GRC intends to acquire the required system as a commercial item. While Anderson Electric Controls, Inc. is the sole source identified, interested parties may submit information to potentially compete for the contract. The anticipated award value is not provided, but the system must have the capacity to provide up to 250kW of bi-directional DC power for battery emulation and solar simulation.
