Synopsis - HyTEC Phase 2 NRA

NASA Glenn Research Center intends to issue a Research Announcement for the HyTEC Phase 2 Small Core Technology Demonstration. The objective is to collaborate with industry through cost-sharing arrangements to integrate and demonstrate key technologies to advance small turbofan engine cores. Technologies aim to demonstrate a 5-10% fuel burn benefit versus 2020 best-in-class single-aisle aircraft engines by 2030, extract up to 10% power from an engine core for electrified aircraft propulsion, and demonstrate high-blend sustainable aviation fuels in 2030s combustors. The anticipated NRA release date is January 3, 2023 with an offer due date of April 13, 2023.

No set-aside designation will be used. The NAICS code is 541715 for research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences with a size standard of 1,500 employees. The solicitation is identified as number 80GRC023N0001 and will result in a single award contract divided into multiple contract line items for hydrogen technologies. The contract type will be cost sharing pursuant to FAR 35 with an anticipated award date of December 2023 and period of performance of 4 years.
