- Description
- This synopsis is being posted to both the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) page located at http://www.fbo.gov and the Navy Electronic Commerce on Line (NECO) site located at https://www.neco.navy.mil. While it is understood that FBO is the single point of entry for posting of synopsis and solicitations to the Internet, NECO is the alternative in case FBO is unavailable. Please feel free to use either site to access information posted by the Naval Sea Systems Command. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division intends to acquire continued research and development efforts directed toward the fabrication of carbon-carbon shape stable nosetip (SSNT) materials, development and fabrication of advanced reentry materials including antenna windows, control surfaces, leading edges, and heatshields; and supporting engineering studies. The procurement is required to support Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) reentry systems. The effort will be fulfilled through other than full and open competition with Intermat, 389 Hill Street, Biddeford, Maine 04005-4335. Intermat, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fiber Materials Inc. (FMI), is uniquely qualified to conduct the efforts required by this effort and is the sole supplier of carbon-carbon composite, shape stable nosetips (SSNT) for the Navy MK5 reentry body. The unique SSNT technology has proven to be the most effective solution devised for ensuring reliable, repeatable, and accurate reentry body flight performance in extremely harsh reentry environments. It is of the utmost importance to maintain consistency when fabricating these materials. The billet weaving and densification procedures for these materials have a profound effect on their thermal and mechanical properties and their ablative and aerodynamic flight performance, use of the identical SSNT weaving and processing cycles is absolutely necessary. Intermat ™s carbon-carbon weaving and processing cycles are proprietary. Only Intermat can reproduce these billet weaving and processing cycles, and thus is the only supplier who can fabricate the additional materials. In accordance with FAR 5.207(c)(16), all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency by 20 November 2012. A Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee type contract is anticipated with a one-year base period and two one-year options. All deliveries will be to Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, Detachment Washington, DC, U.S. Naval Observatory, 3450 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W, Bldg. 56, Washington, DC20392-5420. The solicitation number is N00178-13-R-1020. Award is anticipated on 01 August 2013. Questions concerning this announcement should be directed to Cheryl Jason at cheryl.jason@navy.mil or (540) 653-4404.
