DESCRIPTION This Statement of Work (SOW) describes the scope and requirements for the acquisition of special test equipment consisting of thermal vacuum chamber shell, thermal shroud and Thermal Conditioning Unit (TCU) for Vacuum Chamber (VC) 3 proposed to reside inside of B339 Aerospace Power Systems Laboratory (APSL), located on the NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) campus. 1.1. BACKGROUND GRC is constructing a new building to support research and development for aerospace power systems. This building will be approximately 34,000 square feet in size with an approximately 19,000 square foot high bay proposed to house multiple vacuum chambers. Vacuum Chamber 3, 4, and 5 are proposed to be the same size, shape, and configuration with matching thermal shrouds and TCUs. This Vacuum Chamber procurement and building design and construction will be happening concurrently to facilitate successful integration. The building is located at the NASA GRC at Lewis Field, 21000 Brookpark Road, Cleveland, OH 44135. NASA is seeking to procure Vacuum Chamber shell, thermal shroud, and TCU. The equipment sought shall meet the technical requirements and salient features of the equipment outlined in this SOW. Offerors shall possess capabilities, qualifications, and provide examples showing evidence of relevant experience pertaining to the size, design, manufacture, and final assembly of the vacuum chamber, thermal shroud, TCU. Installations shall include the design, fabrication, activation, and qualification of performance in accordance with accepted industry practices, relevant NASA and industry standards, and this SOW. 2. PHASE 1 – DESIGN The design shall result in shop design drawings and specifications to produce fully functional, test- verified systems, which meet the project requirements stated below. The shop design drawings and specifications shall be complete in all aspects and shall comply with the standards of practice including those stated in Technical Requirements Summary, Appendix A. The details of design shop drawings must facilitate successful fabrication and installation as well as allow for building details to be determined to succe…
