- Description
- The William J. Hughes Technical Center intends to award a cost plus fixed fee contract to Battelle, Columbus, OHIO for the development of MMPDS. Battelle is uniquely qualified to perform the proposed work. Battelle has served continuously as the technical coordinator of MIL-HDBK-5 for the government since 1954. Over this period of nearly 5 decades, Battelle has developed and continues to maintain a large repository of proprietary material property data and supporting technical documentation that supports the minimum design properties presented in the handbook. Battelle collects, confidentially evaluates, and provides permanent storage for proprietary material property data supplied by aircraft and aerospace metallic material suppliers and users throughout the world. More than half of the over 1200 data compilations (some including multiple reports and data compilations) are not available as Government documents and are only available by Battelle. Many of these da! ta compilations are company proprietary and were acquired through Battelle's longstanding relationships with aircraft manufacturers and material suppliers. Consent to release each of these proprietary data packages to support the mechanical properties in MIL-HDBK-5 to the care of another contractor would not be directly transferable. All the mechanical property values in the handbook must be traceable to the original data, much of which is proprietary, to substantiate the values. No other company currently has access to the required data.
