Description

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking to acquire electric motors for a coaxial rotor, specifically two YASA 750R axial flux motors, which will be utilized in a new coaxial test stand being developed in collaboration with the Army. These motors are required to independently drive the rotors of the test stand, which is designed to operate with both air and heavy gas, and must deliver 387 Nm of continuous torque at speeds ranging from 600 to 1550 RPM, while also featuring a compact design and a large through bore for coaxial rotor shaft operation. The procurement is critical for advancing aerospace technology, and the selected contractor will also need to provide operational manuals, performance curves, and CAD drawings for the motors, with deliveries to be made to Arc Energy, LLC in Ridgeland, Mississippi. Interested organizations must submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing to Sara Jusino-Terry at sara.a.jusino-terry@nasa.gov by 12 p.m. Central Standard Time on January 27, 2025, to be considered for this sole source contract.

The purpose of this document is to outline the procurement requirements for two YASA 750R axial flux motors, to be used in a new coaxial test stand being developed by NASA and the Army. The motors will independently drive the rotors of the test stand, which can operate with air or heavy gas. This procurement task does not include system integration, which will be managed separately by Arc Energy under an existing contract. Key specifications for the motors include the provision of 387 Nm of continuous torque at speeds of 600 to 1550 RPM, a compact design for packaging within the testbed, and a large through bore for coaxial rotor shaft operation. The contractor is also required to supply operational manuals, performance curves, and CAD drawings for the motors. Deliveries will be made to Arc Energy, LLC in Ridgeland, Mississippi, and NASA Technical Representative Robert Thornburgh will oversee the process to ensure compliance with technical standards. This document serves as a structured request for proposals and is central to the government’s collaborative efforts in advancing aerospace technology.
