Official Description: THE SCOPE OF THIS CONTRACT IS TO DEVELOP FREE-PISTON STIRLING CONVERTOR TECHNOLOGY FOR RADIOISOTOPE POWER CONVERSION (RPS) FOR FUTURE NASA SPACE SCIENCE AND EXPLORATION MISSIONS. THE CONTRACT WILL BE A TASK ORDER CONTRACT AND WILL INCLUDE THIS GENERAL OUTLINE AGREEMENT, AND INDIVIDUAL TASK ORDERS TO BE AWARDED. THE CONTRACT IS TO PROVIDE DESIGN, ANALYSIS, TRADE STUDIES, HARDWARE PRODUCTION, TESTING, AND ASSOCIATED TASKS NEEDED TO CONTINUE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ADVANCED STIRLING CONVERTOR (ASC) TECHNOLOGY FOR POTENTIAL USE ON FUTURE NASA MISSIONS THAT REQUIRE RPS. DUE TO THE DYNAMIC NATURE OF THE RELATED PROGRAMS, ANTICIPATED DIRECTION FROM NASA HEADQUARTERS, AND POTENTIAL REVISION OF REQUIREMENTS, THE INDIVIDUAL TASKS WILL BE ISSUED WITH DETAILED STATEMENTS OF WORK. TECHNICAL DIRECTION PROVISIONS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE CONTRACT TO PROVIDE FOR IN-SCOPE TECHNICAL DIRECTION FROM NASA TO THE CONTRACTOR. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL PROVIDE ALL NECESSARY PERSONNEL, FACILITIES, SERVICES, AND MATERIALS REQUIRED UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED. THE CONTRACT WILL INCLUDE TRAVEL TO SUPPORT TECHNICAL MEETINGS, REVIEWS, AND TESTS AS REQUIRED BY INDIVIDUAL TASKS. DELIVERABLES WILL BE SPECIFIED IN EACH INDIVIDUAL TASK ORDER AND WILL INCLUDE ITEMS SUCH AS STIRLING CONVERTORS AND RELATED TEST HARDWARE, TEST REPORTS, ANALYSIS REPORTS, DESIGN DRAWINGS, AND DATA PACKAGES. GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY OR SERVICES WILL BE SPECIFIED IN EACH INDIVIDUAL TASK ORDER AS REQUIRED. THE TASKS UNDER THIS OUTLINE AGREEMENT WILL ADVANCE THE TECHNOLOGY AND FURTHER ESTABLISH THE VIABILITY OF THE STIRLING CONVERTOR TECHNOLOGY THAT WAS DEVELOPED UNDER THE RADIOISOTOPE POWER CONVERSION TECHNOLOGY (RPCT) NRA CONTRACT, NAS3-03128 AND THE SBIR PHASE II CONTRACT, NAS3-02174.
