Procurement specifications report. IMBLS phase B-4

Procurement specifications to provide vendors of space systems with supporting information to accurately price the selected major buy items are illustrated. In performing this task, rigid constraints on specifications and drawing details are avoided beyond those necessary to define basic requirements. Described are digital processing equipment, mass spectrometer, body mass measuring device, sensors, bio-belt power source, vision tester and instrumentation for a biochemical station.

An approach to improve management visibility within the procurement and financial group at Goldstone

Improvements in the operational efficiency of the data management systems at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex (GDSCC) are discussed. This addresses the existing procurement and financial management data system at GDSCC, identifies management requirements for better visibility, describes a proposed computerized data management system, summarizes results to data, and identifies plans for future development.

Summary of development and recommendations for a quality assurance program for the procurement and manufacture of urban mass transit operating equipment and systems

A viable quality program for the urban mass transit industry, and a management approach to ensure compliance with the program are outlined. Included are: (1) a set of guidelines for quality assurance to be imposed on transit authorities, and a management approach to ensure compliance with them; (2) a management approach to be used by the transit authorities (properties) for assuring compliance with the QA guidelines; and (3) quality assurance guidelines to be imposed by properties and umta for procurement of hardware and systems.

Results of module electrical measurement of the DOE 46-kilowatt procurement

Current-voltage measurements have been made on terrestrial solar cell modules of the DOE/JPL Low Cost Silicon Solar Array procurement. Data on short circuit current, open circuit voltage, and maximum power for the four types of modules are presented in normalized form, showing distribution of the measured values. Standard deviations from the mean values are also given. Tests of the statistical significance of the data are discussed.

Qualification test results for DOE solar photovoltaic flat panel procurement - PRDA 38

Twelve types of prototypes modules for the DOE Photovoltaic Flat Panel Procurement (PRDA 38) were subjected to qualification tests at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory according to a new specification. Environmental exposures were carried out separately and included temperature cycling, humidity, wind simulation, and hail. The most serious problems discovered were reduced insulation resistance to ground and ground continuity of the metal frames, electrical degradation, erratic power readings, and delamination. The electrical and physical characteristics of the newly received modules are also given.

The evolution of procurement and assurance methods used to proof an advanced space material

A development history and current performance evaluation is presented for a Kapton polyimide for the Space Station Freedom. Analyses of results obtained for this class of materials by the Long Duration Exposure Facility led to major revisions of procurement specifications and test requirements for this material. Attention is given to the use of oxygen plasma etching and blocking, as well as the evolution of test methodologies due to preproduction test data evaluations and the relationship between tests and product-improvement cycles.

Open system environment procurement

Relationships between the request for procurement (RFP) process and open system environment (OSE) standards are described. A guide was prepared to help Federal agency personnel overcome problems in writing an adequate statement of work and developing realistic evaluation criteria when transitioning to an OSE. The guide contains appropriate decision points and transition strategies for developing applications that are affordable, scalable and interoperable across a broad range of computing environments. While useful, the guide does not eliminate the requirement that agencies posses in-depth expertise in software development, communications, and database technology in order to evaluate open systems.
