NASA is seeking to procure 100 Kulite unsteady pressure transducers, specifically the model XCL-17A-IA-100-17A, for use in the Langley Transonic Dynamics Tunnel. This opportunity is set aside for total small businesses, making it suitable for small contractors in the aerospace instrumentation sector. The notice type is a Combined Synopsis/Solicitation, indicating that interested vendors should prepare to respond with bids rather than just track the opportunity.

Description
STATEMENT OF WORK
1. Objective/Requirements
Unsteady pressure transducers are standard wind-tunnel model instrumentation used
in the NASA Langley Transonic Dynamics Tunnel (TDT) for acquiring time-varying
changes in pressure to capture aerodynamic and model instabilities, such as flutter,
buffet, flow separation, and shock wave oscillations. The TDT has an existing
inventory of Kulite unsteady pressure transducers and therefore has a requirement
that new transducers must be the same brand (Kulite) to achieve data consistency and
simplified integration into wind-tunnel models. The Space Launch System (SLS)
project has a requirement for using new, dedicated Kulite unsteady pressure
transducers in multiple models to be tested in the TDT.
