About this opportunity

This Special Notice was published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center. The Notice indicates NASA/NSSC's intent to issue a sole source contract to Michigan Technological University for molecular modeling of shrinkage, strength, and permeability in thermoplastic composites. The modeling will determine properties of candidate thermoplastics and an epoxy reference at temperatures including liquid oxygen and hydrogen for cryogenic fuel tank applications at NASA Langley Research Center.

The Notice seeks capability statements from other sources by January 16, 2024 solely to determine whether to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. Interested sources may submit capabilities and qualifications in writing to the identified points of contact by the due date. The research period of performance is January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024. Deliverables include candidate lists, simulation predictions, reports, presentations, and a technical paper. Performance will be located at NASA Langley Research Center. This Special Notice provides an opportunity for interested and capable sources to demonstrate their qualifications for potential future competitive procurements.
