About this opportunity
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Glenn Research Center seeks capabilities statements and cost quotes for services on the PSL MCT-90-122-50K Multi-axis Thrust Measurement System. The services include replacing the center section to match a different test stand, performing calibrations at the vendor's facility including providing related equipment and software, training NASA personnel, and inspecting and repairing or fabricating 22 load cells. Responses are due by October 30, 2020. The agency will evaluate responses and award solely to Force Measurement Systems, Inc. if no competitive bids are received that are determined to be in the government's interest to pursue.
This woman-owned small business set-aside pre-solicitation has a NAICS code of 334511 and PSC code of V2Y4. If awarded, the sole source contract would go to Force Measurement Systems, Inc., the potential incumbent. The statement of work provides technical details on replacing the center section, calibration instrumentation and software, load cell inspection and repair/fabrication, and a modular load cell package to optimize measurement accuracy for lower thrust engine tests.
Notice text
NASA/GRC has a requirement for services on the PSL MCT-90-122-50K Multi-axis Thrust Measurement System (TMS). Vendor shall perform the following services (see attached SOW for full detail):
- Replace the center section of the TMS live bed and ground frame with a new section that will allow the engine mount features to match the MCT-87-129-40K TMS. Center section shall retain all the capability to measure 50K of axial force and to maintain 50K of axial in-frame calibration capability
- The In-frame calibration instrumentation, calibration software, and vendor required In-house equipment (non-deliverable) to perform calibrations of the TMS at the vendor’s facility (This may be interpreted as an in-situ characterization of the TMS for a given custom customer test build-ups). In-house equipment consists of but not limited to hydraulic systems and a suitable data acquisition system for the data measurement load cells. Vendor shall train NASA personnel in the mechanics and theory of operations so that they are able to maintain the TMS and conduct similar calibrations/characterizations with the thrust stand installed at PSL.
- Inspect, assess and provide a cost quote to repair and or fabricate (22) load cells that are used in the thrust measurement system. The new/repaired load cells shall have the same capability in terms of capacity and accuracy as the current load cells when they were newly installed.
- Provide modular axial load cell package that allows NASA to optimize the measurement accuracy of the TMS for lower thrust engine tests by having the ability to change from 50K lbf maximum axial thrust to 20K lbf maximum axial thrust by replacing the axial load cells as needed.
