- Description
- NASA/GSFC plans to issue a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for maintenance and testing of 40 Ah Lithium-Ion batteries. The contractor shall furnish personnel, service, parts, materials, equipment and facilities necessary to test exting 40 Ah Lithium-Ion battery, data reduction and delivery the data in row and report form. LEO test operations are to be carried out on a 24-hour/7-day/week schedule, with personnel available for special testing and monitoring of automatic equipment, during nonscheduled working hours. LEO Test Profile: Temperature - 20 +-2 degree C; Orbit - 90 minutes (60 minutes charge, 30 minutes discharge); Discharge - 16 A constant current for 30 minutes (40 percent DoD); Charge - Charge at 20A constant current to VT limit for 60 minutes charge period. Start at VT level of 32V per battery. Data points to be recorded: cell voltages, cell temperature, pack current, ampere-hours in and out, and time. Period of Performance shall be one year from time of award. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). NASA/GSFC intends to purchase the items from Saft America, Cokeysville, MD. Saft America shall perform life cycle testing on a 40 Ah Litium Ion battery for the purposes of demonstrating the Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) performance. Factors considered in determining this vendors' unique ability for this task are technology hardware readiness, project schedule, and prior experience. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on February 10, 2003.
