Sources Sought- HyTEC

NASA Glenn Research Center seeks capability statements from potential sources through October 28, 2020 for its Hybrid Thermally Efficient Core (HyTEC) project. As part of NASA's Advanced Air Vehicles Program, NASA intends to collaborate with industry through a cost sharing arrangement to accelerate development of small turbofan engine core technologies and demonstrate a 5-10% fuel burn benefit versus 2020 best-in-class engines for early 2030s single-aisle aircraft. Interested firms must submit documentation of their capabilities by the deadline to be considered for this opportunity.

There is no set-aside designated for this opportunity. NASA reserves the right to consider a small business, 8(a), woman-owned, veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business, or HUBZone set-aside based on responses received. The notice does not include NAICS or PSC codes, potential incumbents, award values, or other key details. However, the goal of the HyTEC project is to demonstrate a 5-10% fuel burn benefit in engines for single-aisle aircraft entering service in the early 2030s through accelerated development of small turbofan engine core technologies.
