- Description
- Request for information The NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) solicits information from the Government, academic, and industrial communities pertaining to all technology needs for producing grazing-incidence X-ray telescopes with large (several square meter) effective areas and fine (sub-arc second) angular resolution. MSFC seeks this information to assist in assessing current technology capabilities, identifying promising development paths, and evaluating feasibility and schedule for maturing these technologies as part of the X-ray Surveyor (now Lynx) Mission Concept Study. It is anticipated that the 2020 NRC Decadal Survey Committee will use this and other Studies in formulating their recommendation for the priorities for large strategic missions to follow JWST and WFIRST. The X-ray Surveyor Concept Study is being conducted by a MSFC-based Study Office under the leadership of a community-selected Science and Technology Definition Team (STDT)chartered by NASA's Astrophysics Division. This RFI is not a solicitation for the procurement of goods or services. The Government is under no obligation to issue any such solicitation in the future as a result of this RFI. The NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at https://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub library/Omb.html. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of this solicitation. If a soliciation is released, it will be synopsized in the FedBizOpps and on the NASA Acquisition Internet Service (NAIS). The Internet site, or URL, for the NASA/MSFC Business Opportunities home page is http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=D&pin=62 It is the offeror's responsibility to monitor the Internet site for the release of solicitations and amendments (if any).
