- Description
- Solid Electrolyte Oxygen Separator. The Air Force Research Laboratory, Human Effectiveness Directorate, Biodynamics and Protection Division, intends to enter into a 24 month, Cost Plus Fixed Fee type contract on a Sole Source basis with Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (APCI), Allentown, PA, for an estimated $5,800,000.00 . NAIC Code 54171 has been assigned. This contract action will be accomplished as a modification to the existing contract F41624-00-C-6000 with APCI. A SECRET Security Clearance is not required in performance of this work. This contract provides for exploratory and advanced research on an electrically-driven solid electrolyte oxygen separator using planar electrolytic ceramic membranes which uses advanced materials, such as a ceria-based electrolyte. The goal of the contract is to advance oxygen generation technology for military ground-based and airborne applications and make it easier to deploy, more compact, and less expensive than traditional oxygen generation technologies. Any interested offeror must demonstrate that they have already achieved the following minimum technical milestones: a. Production of oxygen purity of greater than 99.99%. b. Oxygen production of 5 liters/minute. c. Oxygen pressure of 50 pounds/square inch. d. Electrochemical cell long-term operation of 10,000 hours. e. Electrochemical cell power consumption of less than 80 Watts/standard liter/minute. This announcement is NOT a Request for Proposal or announcement of a solicitation. The proposed contract action is for supplies or services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302.
