- Description
- This proposed contract is being considered as a 100 percent set-aside for historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and minority institutions(MIs), as defined by the clause at 252.226-7000 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement. Interested HBCUs and MIs should provide the contracting office as early as possible, but not later than 15 days after this notice, evidence of their capability to perform the contract, and a positive statement of their eligibility as an HBCU or MI. If adequate response is not received from HBCUs and MIs, the solicitation will instead be issued, without further notice, as: unrestricted. Therefore, replies to this notice are also requested from all interested parties. The solicitation, once released will clearly indicate if the action is set-aside for HBCU/MI or unrestricted. The U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command, Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (TACOM-ARDEC), Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, 07806-5000, will be seeking qualified Bidders with the capability to conduct research to better address corrosion issues for the U.S. Army in the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO). It is assembling a Pacific Rim Corrosion Research Program (PRCRP) whose mission is three fold: First, to study corrosion effects on several materials such as metal-matrix composites, ceramic film coatings and Micro Electromechanical Systems (MEMS). Secondly is to study them in climates found in the PTO such as temperate, frozen alpine, rain forest, and desert as well as marine and volcanic environments. Third, is to correlate the data found in the laboratory tests to tests made in the actual climate conditions found in the PTO. Specific details include corrosion mapping of unique climates and in addition, identification of corrosion mechanisms, methods of corrosion protection and inhibition and the development of corrosion test protocols relevant to the PTO will be conducted. The research will entail laboratory corrosion studies, field studies in the natural environments, and the correlation between the laboratory and field studies. For additional information contact Yvonne Howerton, email 'howerton@pica.army.mil'.
