EARTH OBSERVING PIC (EPIC) COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT Solicitation ID/Procurement Identifier: 80NSSC23K0514 Ultimate Completion Date: Fri Feb 28 18:00:00 GMT 2025
The Army is seeking development and demonstration of component technologies which will improve thermal transport options on notional future vertical lift (FVL) aircraft, referencing capability set 3 platforms for this call. Any proposal should ideally seek to show how the component(s) proposed for development impact an aircraft over its mission envelope and any capabilities it can enable.
Input as to which technologies in this PTM technology space should be worked first due to development risk, development time, or other reasons is also requested, along with a rough order of magnitude (ROM) of cost of the associated component technology development to support an integrated system-level technology demonstration.
Additionally, at the NSTTF, the CSP team has worked and researched the capabilities of the Molten-Salt power development for decades. On-site, the CSP team has designed a Molten Salt Test Loop (MSTL) to allow industrial customers and researchers to test molten salts over a range of temperatures within energy-generation individual components such as flex hoses, ball joints, and valves, up to full solar collecting and heated systems.
The Government is interested in basic research, applied research, advanced technology development, and advanced component development and prototypes in accordance with DFARS 235.016(a).
Accordingly, vendors will propose for any or all of the following components: Component 1: Professional Development Services in Home Language (Spanish and/or other language currently offered in a TBE or DLE program) Component 2: Professional Development on Academic Language Development Component 3: Professional Development on Mathematics Component 4: Professional Development on Science and STEM Component 5: Professional Development on Social Studies
For the purposes of this BAA, S&T includes activities involving basic research, applied research, advanced technology development, and, under certain conditions, may include activities involving advanced component development and prototypes.The selection process is highly competitive, and the quantity of meaningful submissions (both pre-proposals/pre-applications and full proposals/applications) received typically exceeds the number of awards that
