- Description
- This is a synopsis for a noncommercial program entitled 'Engine dynamometers for UAVs.' The objective of the program is to acquire a detailed design and prototype hardware for air dynamometers with expanded capabilities using the Concepts ETI, Inc. dynamometers as the baseline. The VAROC-250 will be modified to incorporate a highly accurate, field calibratable (beam type or equivalent) engine torque measurement system. This system shall duplicate the capabilities of the exisiting torque measurement system but shall improve measurement accuracy and have the ability to be field calibrated in an easy and efficient manner. The VAROC-35, an air dynamometer for the 3500 HP class of aircraft engines in the 24,000-RPM range, will be studied for potential mo difications that will allow for test and evaluation of the 3000 HP engine class family of turbine engines in the 20,000-RPM range. This investigation shall consider improved alternative air compression designs. A Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract will be a warded to Concepts ETI, Inc., who is deemed to be the only responsible source uniquely capable of meeting this requirement due to ongoing work on the VAROC-35 and VAROC-250, the air dynamometers currently being used in the Armyâs Flexibile Engine Diag nostic System. Concepts ETI, Inc. is the original designer and manufacturer of the air dynamometers and is the only firm holding the design and development knowledge necessary to successfully perform the modification efforts required by the Government. Th is acquisition will be procured in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c)(l) and FAR 6.302-1; Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Alpha contract negotiations, appropriate for sole source requirements , will be limited to Concepts ETI, Inc. The contract requirements will be developed jointly between the Government and Concepts ETI, Inc., consistent with alpha contracting procedures and applicable cost principles, clauses, and provisions in accordance w ith the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). Specifications, plans or drawings relating to this procurement are not available and cannot be furnished by the Government. The period of performance for this program is eighteen (18) months. The North Amer ican Industry Classification System (NAICS) applicable to this is 541710. The size standard is 1500. While the Government does not anticipate competition, any responsible source may submit a proposal that shall be considered. Written proposals should be addressed to AATD, Attn: AMSRD-AMR-AA-C (Bethany McClave) Building 401 Lee Boulevard, Fort Eustis, VA 23604-5577. Ms. McClaveâs phone number is 757-878-2003. Anyone desiring an explanation or interpretation of this announcement must request it in w riting at the above address (Datafax 757-878-0008) or bmcclave@aatd.eustis.army.mil. Contracting officer is Sharon Horton and can be reached at 757-878-0086 or shorton@aatd.eustis.army.mil. FBO Numbered Notes Apply: 22 and 26.
