Description

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Intermat, 389 Hill Street, Biddeford, ME 04005-4335 for the fabrication of shape stable nosetip (SSNT) materials, development and fabrication of advanced reentry materials, and supporting engineering studies. Intermat is uniquely qualified to conduct the efforts required. Intermat and FMI has been the sole supplier of carbon-carbon composite SSNT for the Navy Mk5 reentry body. It is of the utmost importance to maintain consistency when fabricating these materials; since 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. The total estimated period of performance is five years. See Note (22). The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, Dahlgren Procurement Division has implemented Electronic Commerce (EC) in the acquisition area; therefore, synopses and resulting solicitations with any applicable amendments will be available on the World Wide Web at http://www.nswc.navy.mil/supply. Hard copies WILL NOT be provided. Vendors should regularly access the NSWCDD Web Site to ensure that they have downloaded all amendments.
