- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake, intends to award a firm fixed price contract for supplying a transient combustion model developed to simulate the response of an energetic material in a pool fire environment and to evaluate the response of energetic to thermal stimuli associated with the transportation and storage incidents that results in fire on a sole source basis to the Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, because of NAWCWD requirement to provide support to the DOD Joint Hazards Classifiers. This is being sole sourced to Brigham Young University (BYU) because Dr. Merrill W. Beckstead of BYU has the first BDP model attributed to accurately represent the different flames present in solid propellants containing AP and predict the burning rate of those propellants. Dr. Beckstead and his research group was the first to predict a fast-cook-off scenario using detailed chemical kinetics, making the calculation more predictive in nature. ! Dr. Beckstead's knowledge in solid propellant propulsion and recent research experience in fast-cook-off makes him uniquely qualified. Dr. Beckstead computational code is the only one which has been successfully coupled to the LES driven fire code ARCHES and are the only fully predictive codes which can address the fire hazard in the transportation and storage of large solid rocket motors. Any firm believing that they can provide these services may submit a written response to be received at the Contracting Officer no later than 5 days after the date of publication of this notice, clearly showing it's ability to do so without compromising the quality, accuracy, and reliability of the data or without causing programmatic hardship to the program.
