Description

NASA/Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) is hereby soliciting information from potential sources for active cooling technology development and demonstration for high capacity cryocooler technologies to Technology Readiness Level (TRL)-6 for Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) storage and scalable for Liquid Oxygen (LOx) and Liquid Methane (LCH4) for space cryogenic systems supporting future long duration NASA missions. The objectives are to assure availability of high capacity cryocooler technology for future NASA missions.

NASA/MSFC is seeking capability statements from all interested parties, including all socioeconomic categories of Small Businesses and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU)/Minority Institutions (MI), and members of the underserved communities as defined by Executive Order 13985, Advancing Racial Equity And Support For Underserved Communities Through The Federal Government, for the purposes of determining the appropriate level of competition and/or small business subcontracting goals for the Cryogenic Fluid Management Portfolio Project (CFMPP) and the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD). The Government reserves the right to consider a Small, 8(a), Women-owned (WOSB), Service Disabled Veteran (SD-VOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-owned Small Business (EDWOSB) or HUBZone business set-aside based on responses received.

The purpose of this sources sought solicitation is to identify capable organizations and promising technologies which NASA intends to use to inform and develop an acquisition strategy to mature cryocooler technologies through a new appendix to the Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships (NextSTEP-3) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA).



Project Background
