About this opportunity
NASA's Glenn Research Center is seeking capability statements for four pneumatically-driven turbine propulsion simulator (TPS) units designed for wind tunnel testing applications. The agency requires specialized equipment with motors having diameters less than 4 inches that can accommodate rotating shaft force balances and be configured for both clockwise and counterclockwise rotor operations. Technical specifications include power ranges of 100-170 horsepower and maximum RPM capabilities between 17,000-20,000, with preference given to existing designs to minimize lead times. NASA is soliciting responses from all business types through this sources sought notice, with interested firms required to submit 5-page capability statements. The submission deadline is 4:00 PM EDT on July 8, 2025, with responses to be emailed to Kevin Carroll referencing solicitation number 80GRC025R7021-SSN.
This pre-solicitation notice indicates no set-aside designation is currently established, though NASA specifically encourages participation from small businesses, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and Minority Institutions, with potential future set-asides for 8(a), Women-owned, Service-Disabled Veteran, Economically Disadvantaged Women-owned Small Business, or HUBZone enterprises. The procurement calls for exactly four TPS units with hardware delivery required no later than March 2027. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the notice, and no budget ranges or estimated contract values are disclosed. Respondents should note that submission of capability statements does not guarantee selection for future solicitation opportunities, and NASA will not provide notification of results from this market research phase.
