- Description
- NASA/GSFC is interested in finding partners for a spaceflight hardware system(s) for planetary solid sample processing, handling, and manipulation, potentially including a solid sample processing and introduction assemblies, a rotary sample cup carousel, and associated motors to drive the system to integrate with and service a planetary spaceflight science instrument. The controlling electronics for the system(s) will be provided by the spaceflight science instrument. This partnership opportunity is for participation in a potential response to a 2013 NASA Announcement of Opportunity (AO) for a science investigation for an upcoming mission opportunity. A potential NASA/GSFC investigation may include instrumentation incorporating subsystems from non-NASA/GSFC partners. The AO is expected to be a single-step process with selected investigations comprising the baseline payload for the flight mission, entering Phase A in 2014. This partnership opportunity is being issued to select teaming partners to help prepare NASA/GSFC science instrument concepts for the proposal submittal; and to provide a spaceflight qualified instrument subsystem should the instrument be selected for flight. Responses will be treated as proprietary information and controlled as such. The respondents shall deliver the final requested information in a presentation format, details of the format will be provided to qualified NOI respondents. Final presentation packages must be received by 4:00PM EDT, August 15, 2013. Please provide one DVD or CD of the presentation and deliver them to: Joyce King NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Code 101 Building 8, Room 301-D Greenbelt, MD 20771 joyce.a.king@nasa.gov 301.286.1102 Alternatively, the final presentation package may be delivered electronically by 4PM EDT, August 15, 2013. Please provide a method to access the presentation electronically, do not send as an email attachment. There will be no exchange of funds between the teaming partners for the portion of this partnership opportunity dealing with the preparation of the submission. Funding will be available for Phase A and subsequent phases should the investigation be approved to continue through the mission-defined gates for flight. This solicitation/synopsis is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for the information solicited. An ombudsman has been appointed. See Internet Note B. The documents for this partnership opportunity will be in Microsoft Office Suite (Word 6.0, Excel 5.0, or PowerPoint 4.0) format and will reside on a World Wide Web (WWW) server, which may be accessed using a WWW browser application. The WWW address, or URL, of the NASA/GSFC Business Opportunities home page is http://procurement.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/EPS/bizops.cgi?gr=C&pin=51. It is the offerors responsibility to monitor this cite for the release of the Partnership Opportunity Document and amendments (if any). Potential offerors will be responsible for downloading their own copy of the Partnership Opportunity Document and amendments, if any.
