This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Please note that there are separate documents that need to be downloaded from the FedBizOpps website with this notice which includes the Statement of Work and Specification Requirements. (ii) This solicitation number is N00421-08-R-0072 and is issued as a request for proposal. (iii) The solicitation and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-23. (iv) The NAICS code for this procurement is 541380. The total estimated dollar value for this procurement is roughly estimated to be $454,000.00. This solicitation is being pursued to be full and open competition. (v)The contract line item number are: CLIN 0001, purchase of Upgrade to Naval Aerodynamic Test Facility (NATF) Wind Tunnel. (vi) Description of Requirements: The contract requires support for the Naval Aerodynamic Test Velocity Measurement Upgrade Program (432A). This acquisition will provide support for the process of enhancing its data acquisition, flow field diagnostics, and wind tunnel control capabilities for the Naval Aerodynamic Test Facility (NATF) wind tunnel. The NATF enhancements will be for the purchase of a three-component Particle Image Velocimetry system (PIV), upgrade or replacement of an existing GFE PSI 8400 system, replacement of current wind tunnel drive with a variable frequency drive, purchase of a multi-hole unsteady “cobra” pressure probe, and replacement tunnel data acquisition software and computers. It is expected that the data acquisition software will control/acquire data from existing GFE systems in the NATF and must be able to do every process currently associated with the legacy NATF control system: wind tunnel speed command/control of the new variable frequency drive (VFD) including emergency stop, data acquisition, and traverse command and control. The bidder must submit a plan describing VFD installation, implementation and fan/speed control. The system must be able to control all instruments from the facility control room. Software may be written to control/interface with existing GFE systems or the GFE systems may be upgraded if that is more cost effective. The system must be designed such that, in the event of communication failure with the VFD a runaway fan is not possible. The final operating system will have sufficiently low electronic noise for the entire system to operate without noise interference will all systems operating. This may require contractor to install shielding and to demonstrate system integration/acquisition of the existing facility instrumentation, control of the facility drive, and integration/acquisition of the procured instrumentation. (vii) Delivery: 30 days after contract award. Delivery and Acceptance: Patuxent River, Maryland. FOB: Destination.

If the software does not currently exist, a detailed description of the proposed software is necessary to perform the evaluation. c. Specificity of implementation of the VFD/fan pitch control. The Government will evaluate whether the proposal adequately addresses the implementation of the proposed fan drive system and whether allowances have been made for proper electronic noise reduction techniques. Ratings will be awarded for specific tunnel velocity control solutions incorporating both fan pitch and RPM adjustments. d. Use of quality components to insure highest performance. The Government will evaluate whether the contractor is using quality components necessary to perform the work. Ratings will be awarded based on the use quality of the components. e. Quality and ease of use. The Government will evaluate whether the proposed solution is flexible, easy to set up, and easy to control.
