About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Ames Research Center is seeking proposals for a multiple-award indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract to provide rotorcraft vertical lift technology development services including aeronautical engineering, research and development, systems analysis, and modeling and simulation. Services will involve technology assessments, analysis, design, fabrication, and testing requirements for rotorcraft across topics such as aerodynamics, structures, computational fluid dynamics, and acoustics. Evaluation criteria will include technical approach, past performance, and price/cost. Proposals are due by August 31, 2020, with contract award anticipated in February 2021.
The contract has no set-aside designations. The NAICS code is 541715 for research and development services with a size standard of 1,000 employees. Incumbent contractors are Monterey Technologies, Bell Helicopter Textron, Georgia Tech Applied Research Corporation, The Boeing Company, and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. Small business participation goals are set at 9% for small businesses, 5% for small disadvantaged businesses, 3% for women-owned small businesses, and 1% each for historically black colleges and universities and minority institutions, historically underutilized business zones, veteran-owned small businesses, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. Work will primarily be performed at contractor facilities with some possibility of work at NASA Ames Research Center, California.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/Ames Research Center (ARC) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Rotorcraft Vertical Lift Technology Development (RVLTD). NASA ARC requires contract services for rotary wing technology development in engineering, research and development, systems analysis and modeling and simulation.
The RVLTD procurement is a re-compete of the current Rotorcraft Wing Technology Development (RWTD) Contracts: NNA15AB11B, NNA15AB12B, NNA15AB13B, NNA15AB14B, and NNA15AB15B. The contract services include aeronautical engineering, research and development, systems analysis, and modeling and simulation. Current services include the RWTD contract which is a multiple-award Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contract whereby individual task orders are issued during the performance period. Task order topics are drawn from a wide spectrum of rotary wing technology development topics including technology assessments, analysis, design, fabrication, and testing requirements (model-scale, full-scale, and flight) with rotorcraft, including but not limited to aerodynamics, structures, computational fluid dynamics, acoustics, comprehensive analysis, cockpit design and control systems, handling qualities, human factors, prognostics and health management assessments, and systems and economic analysis.
CURRENT CONTRACT FEATURES: The current contracts for the RWTD requirement are Contracts NNA15AB11B, NNA15AB12B, NNA15AB13B, NNA15AB14B, and NNA15AB15B with Monterey Technologies, Inc., Bell Helicopter Textron Inc., Georgia Tech Applied Research Corporation, The Boeing Company, and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation respectively awarded on December 5, 2014 as Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Task Orders with a five-year base period of performance under Full and Open Competition.
The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.
The NAICS Code and Size Standard are 541715 for Research & Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology), with a size standard of 1,000 employees.
This requirement will be issued as a Full and Open Competition procurement.
Small Business Goal 9%, Small Disadvantaged Business 5%, Woman-Owned Small Business 3%, HBCU/MI 1%, Historically Underutilized Business Zone 1%, Veteran-Owned Small Business 2%, and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business 1%.
This competitive acquisition will result in a Multiple-Award, Hybrid Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) with the ability to issue Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) or Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) task orders. The contract will have an effective ordering period of five (5) years from the contract effective date.
The work will be performed mainly at contractor facilities, with a small possibility of work being performed at NASA Ames Research Center (ARC), Moffett Field, CA depending on task order requirements.
The tentative Rotorcraft Vertical Lift Technology Development schedule is shown below:
• Proposals Due – August 31, 2020
• Contract Award – May 2021
NASA FAR Supplement Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman (ARC) for this acquisition can be found at https://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html.
