About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center (NASA/NSSC) has issued a Special Notice for a one-year research collaboration with the Reliable Autonomous Systems Lab (REALM) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). NASA/NSSC intends to award a sole source contract to MIT under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), as MIT is the sole provider of the REALM capability.
The purpose of this research collaboration is to develop and evaluate adaptive envelope protection methods for an electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft during flight testing. The goal is to create an independent runtime safety assurance capability that can intervene to stabilize the aircraft and prevent loss of control. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact by 4:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on June 11, 2024. The procurement will use the commercial item provisions of FAR Parts 12 and 13, and the NAICS Code for this effort is 541715.
