A--STRUCTURES MATERIALS AERODYNAMICS AEROTHERMODYNAMICS AND ACOUSTICS RESEARCHAND TECHNOLOGY -SMAAART-

NASA Langley Research Center issued an award notice for the Structures Materials Aerodynamics Aerothermodynamics and Acoustics Research and Technology (SMAAART) program under solicitation number NNL09ZB1003R. These contracts support analytical and experimental research and technology development primarily for aerospace vehicles at NASA Langley Research Center and other NASA facilities. This procurement is classified under NAICS code 541712 and PSC code A.

The technical scope of the SMAAART contracts encompasses three primary areas: Structures and Materials; Aerodynamics, Aerothermodynamics, and Acoustics; and Integration. Structures and Materials research includes durability, damage tolerance, reliability, structural mechanics, structural dynamics, aeroelasticity, nondestructive evaluation, and advanced materials and processing. The Aerodynamics, Aerothermodynamics, and Acoustics scope covers configuration aerodynamics, computational modeling and simulation, flow physics and control, aircraft and spacecraft noise prediction, aerothermodynamics, hypersonic air-breathing propulsion, and advanced measurement systems. Integration efforts focus on multidisciplinary interactions, analysis, optimization, and trade studies.

The notice was published on April 15, 2010, and includes one attachment containing a procurement synopsis of contract awards. Primary points of contact for this award include Contract Specialist Connie Snapp and Contracting Officer Susan E. McClain.
