- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division intends to acquire continued research and development efforts directed toward the fabrication of carbon-carbon composite reentry materials for shape stable nosetip (SSNT) and control surface applications; development and fabrication of other advanced reentry materials; and supporting engineering studies. The proposed effort will support the Navy?s MK4 and MK5 SLBM Reentry Systems and will also encompasses research and development efforts for the fabrication of thermal protection system materials and components. This effort will be fulfilled through other than full and open competition with Intermat, 389 Hill Street, Biddeford, Maine 04005-4335. Intermat is uniquely qualified to conduct this effort as Intermat along with its parent company, Fiber Materials, Incorporated, are the sole suppliers of carbon-carbon composite SSNT for the Navy?s MK5 reentry body. The unique SSNT technology has proven to be the most effec tive solution ever devised for ensuring reliable, repeatable, and accurate reentry body flight performance in SSNT extremely harsh reentry environment. It is of the utmost importance to maintain consistency when fabricating these materials. Since the billet weaving and densification procedures for these material 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 company?s carbon-carbon weaving and processing cycles are proprietary and only available from Intermat. A cost-plus-fixed-fee type contract is anticipated with a five-year performance period. All deliveries will be to Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division; Detachment Washington, DC; US Naval Observatory, Building 56; 3450 Massachusetts Avenue NW; Washington, DC. Numbered Note 22 applies.
