NOAA/OMAO/AOC - G550 Icing Wind Tunnel

NOAA’s Office of Marine and Aviation Operations is seeking information on firms that can provide Icing Wind Tunnel (IWT) services and related engineering support to characterize ice accretion and shedding on an instrument pylon to be installed on a NOAA Gulfstream 550 aircraft. Respondents must submit a 15‑page, unclassified statement of capabilities that includes a company profile (name, address, UEI, NAICS code and size, GSA schedules, SBA/socio‑economic status, primary and secondary contacts) and a capability demonstration covering the RFI number, interest in future quotes, description of how the firm can meet the IWT requirements, any alternative approaches with impact assessments, and a schedule of facility availability within one year. The test plan will replicate a holding‑pattern icing scenario (CAS 160 kt, TAS 201.8 kt, Mach 0.316, 14,400 ft, OAT 23.5 °F, droplet MVD 15 µm, LWC 0.707 g/m³, 2,700 sec per point) and should include 5‑6 varied points, ideally incorporating Supercooled Large Droplets > 50 µm; the TGI may be mounted horizontally in the test chamber. Submissions are due to Contract Specialist Jennifer Peters (jennifer.peters@noaa.gov) by 10:00 a.m. ET, 23 June 2026; questions must be submitted by email, and all meetings will be coordinated through the Contracting Officer.
