NASA Research Announcement (NRA) - HyTEC Phase 2

This National Aeronautics and Space Administration Research Announcement solicits proposals to further develop hybrid thermally efficient core engine technologies under Phase 2 of the HyTEC program. Offerors must propose integrating technologies at Technology Readiness Levels 4-5 into a full engine core demonstration to improve efficiency, durability, performance, hybridization and sustainability for next-generation single-aisle aircraft engines. Proposals are due May 3, 2023 and must include a minimum 50% cost share. NASA intends to award cost-share contracts to responsible offerors that can best meet project goals of demonstrating technologies at TRL 6 through core testing by September 2027.

There is no set-aside designated. The solicitation is issued under NAICS code 336411 and PSC code R408 with an expected award value over $7 million to support research activities from 2023 through 2027. Offerors must be capable of completing all testing at their own facilities by September 30, 2027 and delivering final data and reports thereafter. The period of performance will be defined in any resulting awards issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Glenn Research Center located in Cleveland, Ohio.
