This study contract is for the development of a Gateway Quick Disconnect (GQDC). The contract includes tasks for a project kickoff meeting, conceptual design development, production assessment, and a final technical interchange meeting. Deliverables include reports, design approach, cost and schedule estimates, and risk assessments. The contract is for a 6-month period of performance, starting upon receipt of authority to proceed. The study contract does not guarantee selection for a future flight contract. The notice includes detailed technical requirements, including flow passage configuration, mass, envelope interface, leakage, temperature, pressure, flow rate, pressure drop, redundant seals, working fluid, material compatibility, EVA and robotic interface, force to engage, torque to engage, and misalignment compensation. The notice also specifies anticipated delivery dates for flight modules and spares to international partners. The notice also mentions that 3D scans of existing hardware and potentially some sample components are available upon request.
The notice provides estimated delivery dates for GQDC to each program, but states that actual delivery dates and launch dates may differ significantly. It also mentions that spares for both intended and future modules would be provided 1, 6, or 11 years after vehicle launch, but could be provided sooner and in bulk. delivery dates are estimates only. actual delivery dates and launch dates may be significantly different from what is provided below. it is recognized that the contractor may not be able to meet the proposed deadlines. nasa would like to know what is the best possible schedule that can be met by vendor for the proposed gqdc concept. priority of delivery is for flight modules and the delivery schedule should prioritize these flight gqdc.
The contract will be evaluated based on the deliverables of these tasks, but not limited to it. it is expected that the contract will be evaluated based on the deliverables of these tasks, but not limited to it.
The vendor may choose to base the design on the ISS design or propose an entirely new design. NASA can provide 3D scans of existing hardware upon request and potentially some sample components for further investigation. he vendor may choose to base the design on the iss design or propose an entirely new design. nasa can provide 3d scans of existing hardware upon request and potentially some sample components for further investigation.
