Aerospace Systems Technical Research & Operations Support Services II (ASTROS II)

The Air Force Research Laboratory, Detachment 7 (AFRL Det 7/SST) is conducting market research to identify qualified industry partners capable of providing follow-on support for its advanced rocket propulsion testing mission. The core capability requires the contractor to evaluate, engineer, reconfigure, and modify experimental research test equipment, test stands, and associated systems. The contractor will also be required to perform research and development test operations, provide test operation support, and maintain special test equipment and critical support infrastructure. The scope of work includes tasks such as propellant handling and engineering, systems integration and expertise, and incidental alterations to real property. • The required scale of operations ranges from small bench-scale liquid engine components and tactical motors to launch booster-class engines and strategic rocket motors. • Practical expertise in intermediate devices, including combined cycle designs, spacecraft propulsion, and space and missile propulsion system component testing, is also required. • The contractor must maintain a comprehensive security program in accordance with the draft Department of War Contract Security Classification Specification, DD Form 254. • All contractor personnel supporting this effort must possess a favorable National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) and may be required to obtain and maintain Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearances during the contract lifecycle.
