This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Offers are being requested, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) under solicitation number 80AFRC26Q0006 for Geometry Optimization and Sensing with Integration and Flight Test (GOSWIFT). This acquisition is a 100% Small Business set-aside requirement. The NAICS code and size standard are 336413 and 1,250 employees, respectively. The offeror shall state in their offer their size status for this acquisition. In accordance with FAR 52.102, provisions and clauses have been incorporated by reference to the maximum practical extent. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will provide the full text of any provision or clause incorporated by reference. Full text of the provisions and clauses may be accessed electronically at: FAR - https://www.acquisition.gov/sites/default/files/page_file_uploads/RFO.pdf NFS - https://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/procurement/regs/NFS.pdf The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 2026-01 https://www.acquisition.gov/sites/default/files/page_file_uploads/RFO.pdf, pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 14275, “Restoring Common Sense to Federal Procurement” issued April 15, 2025 and NASA Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Supplement Procurement Class Deviation (PCD 26-03), dated January 20, 2026. (ii) List of Items: CLIN Structure can be found in the attached RFQ 80AFRC26Q0006 (iii) Description of Requirements: The objective of the Geometry Optimization and Sensing with Integration and Flight (GOSWIFT) effort is to design, manufacture, and deliver an aerodynamic test pod that maintains the Outer Mold Line (OML) of a standard centerline 610-gallon external fuel tank used on an F-15D aircraft. The pod will support aerodynamic and flight test activities while providing internal volume for instrumentation and test equipment. The intent of the effort is for the pod to conform to the design provided by NASA and for industry to collaborate with the program engineering team to ensure the NASA produced design, which meets structural, aerodynamic, and integration requirements, remains manufacturable within schedule constraints (iv) Delivery Date and Location: The period of performance will begin upon contract award and is expected to span 14 months. Upon completion of all required work, the test pod and ground handling cart shall be shipped to NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, CA after fabrication and assembly checks have been successfully completed.
