Description
NASA/Glenn Research Center (GRC) is hereby soliciting information from potential sources for the purchase of liquefiers/refrigerators to support space propulsion and cryogenic research and development activities.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) GRC 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 Helium Liquefier Development (HeLD). 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.
Scope of each helium liquefier/refrigerator system: Helium compressor system (match to cold box requirements below), 4.5 K helium cold box, helium sub-cooler, associated control system (for compressor, cold and sub-cooler), multi-component gas analyzer, helium gas storage, helium adsorber/purifier (not integrated into cold box), and associated spares for critical components.
The submitted capability statement shall address whether the interested party offers a helium liquefier/refrigerator system which can address each of the following required capabilities:
The helium liquefier/refrigerator system must: Implement gas-bearing helium turbo-expanders that have a variable brake design and are located in the cold box at a temperature level below the liquid nitrogen assisted pre-cooling. Variable brake must allow for an output power reduction to approximately 30% of the maximum, while maintaining high efficiency...
