JPL Spacecraft Electrical Power Systems

Spacecraft Electrical Power Systems

Scope Description: The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is reviewing options to find Small Businesses and/or Small Business Joint Ventures or Teams led by a Small Businesses with experience performing the below scope tasks.

JPL is seeking information from qualified small businesses with demonstrated experience supporting spacecraft electrical power systems throughout the design, development, analysis, integration, testing, and qualification lifecycle. Relevant capabilities include electrical power systems (EPS), solar arrays, batteries, power electronics and distribution, high-power and high-voltage systems, direct-drive architectures, energy storage, and power management and distribution. Experience with solar array performance and degradation and spacecraft power interactions with electric propulsion systems is particularly relevant.

JPL is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) managed by Caltech University in support of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Minimum Qualifications: Experience and capabilities in all of the tasks listed below. NAICS Code: 336414 – Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing SBA Size Standard: 1,300 employees
