- Description
- This synopsis provides notification that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Headquarters, intends to proceed to Phase II on the solicitation, entitled Advanced Energy Storage Systems, which was originally synopsized on April 8, 2014, and posted to NSPIRES as an Appendix (NNH14ZOA001N-14GCD-C1) to the Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) NASA Research Announcement (NRA), titled Space Technology Research, Development, Demonstration, and Infusion 2014 (SpaceTech-REDDI-2014). The Phase II Request Letter will be provided to the current Phase I contractors (listed below) on or about February 23, 2015. The Government is conducting a phased acquisition involving a progressive competitive down-selection process (see 1817.7301-5). Competition for subsequent phases will build on the results of the previous phases. Phase I was the Component Test and Analysis Phase with an 8 month period of performance (10/1/14-5/30/15). Phase II is the Engineering Development Unit (EDU) Hardware Phase with an expected duration of up to 12 months, and Phase III would follow as the Prototype Hardware Phase with an expected duration of up to 15 months. The award criteria for subsequent phases will include demonstrated completion of previous phase requirements. The Government expects that only the initial phase contractors will be capable of successfully competing for the subsequent phase(s). Proposals for the subsequent phase(s) will be requested from these contractors. The Government does not intend to issue a new, formal solicitation for subsequent phases(s). Request letters will be issued for each subsequent phase to provide guidance on proposal content and evaluation criteria. Each subsequent phase will be synopsized. Notwithstanding the expectation that only the initial phase contractors will be capable of successfully competing for the subsequent phase(s), proposals from all responsible sources submitted, by the due date, will be considered. In order to contend for subsequent phase awards, however, such prospective offerors must demonstrate a design maturity equivalent to that of the prior phase contractors and that the proposed technology meets the required TRL for the phase and category of work sought and further advancement of the TRL as required through all phases. In addition, proposals must demonstrate completion of all previous phase requirements and progress toward performance goals as outlined in the Appendix as applicable. Failure to fully and completely demonstrate the design maturity and appropriate TRL may render the proposal unacceptable with no further consideration for contract award. The current Phase I contractors are as follows: NNC14CA26C, Amprius, Inc. NNN15D002T, California Institute of Technology NNC14CA25C, Trustees of Indiana University NNC14CA27C, University of Maryland Technical, programmatic, and procurement comments and questions may be addressed by e-mail to HQ-STMD-GCDC1@mail.nasa.gov. Responses to inquiries will be answered via e-mail and will be provided to all offerors.
