- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center-Panama City Division (NSWC PCD), Panama City, FL is hereby issuing a Request for Information (RFI) from all potential sources of fuel system components. The intended use for the system is to identify feasible system configurations to stow, transfer and treat fuel for a gas turbine marine installation on Naval Air Cushion Vehicles (ACV). The information provided will assist NSWC PCD in understanding the technologies available to perform these functions. The Government is looking for current and available technology in the open market, not new technology in a developmental stage. This RFI in no way binds the Government to offer contracts to responding companies. Description This section provides a set of performance characteristics that meet the needs of a potential demonstration system, although consideration will be given to minor deviations from these requirements. The fuel system will need to provide gas turbine engines with clean, water free, heated (when required) fuel. The following system parameters will identify rotating machinery which is subject to imbalance has the following operational characteristics: 1.Compartment temperatures will range from -30C to 85 C.2.Light weight fuel pumps will require pumping capacity in the 95 to 500 liters per minute range (25 to132 GPM)3.Fuel treatment systems or components (coalescers, filters, strainers) for marine gas turbine installations capable of providing filtered fuel at a flow rate of 40 to 150 liters per minute (10.5 to 40 GPM)4.Fuel cleanliness equipment capable of providing fuel solids contaminants below 80 mg per 1,000 gallons with foreign matter not less than 68% silicon dioxide.5.Fuel water removal equipment capable of providing fuel with less than 0.01% water content by volume. 6.Fuel system piping, tubing, and tank component including couplings, tank level sensors, inline or submersible fuel heaters, tank bladders, remote operating valves. Tank heaters and bladders would be sized for approximately 3,000 to 5,000 kg capacity tanks with an operating temperature range down to -30 C.7.Automated fuel transfer systems that interface with craft equipment to maintain craft LCG and TCG within prescribed limits using the transfer system and service system pumping components and remotely operated system vales to distribute fuel ballast as required.8.Equipment will be exposed to high craft vibration and inertial motions. Responses Responses to this RFI should include supporting materials that allows an effective evaluation of your companys competence, experience, and overall understanding of the requirements that NSWC PCD has identified. The following information is requested (please indicate if the information is an estimate or actual) 1.Description of the technology2.Development history and status3.Applications and history of fielded systems4.Installation and integration requirements5.ROM cost and development schedule for a prototype system6.ROM cost and lead time for production units7.US Military applications including points of contact8.Information regarding system and component reliability.9.Capability to complete a test installation of candidate equipment on a US Navy Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) stationed at NSWC Panama City, FL. NSWC PCD requests your responses by 10:00 am (EST), on 23 May 2008. Submissions will be accepted after this date, but feedback may not be as timely or contribute to NSWC PCDs strategic planning. Responses should be e-mailed to Contract Specialist, William Martini, at william.martini@navy.mil or mailed to Code XPS2, Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City (NSWC PC), 110 Vernon Ave, Panama City FL 32407 Attn: William Martini and labeled with the solicitation number and title. The technical point of contact is Stephen Solana, (850) 235-5041, stephen.solana@navy.mil. Information provided will be treated as Business Sensitive and will not be shared outside of Government activities and agencies without the permission of the provider. All information shall be provided free of charge to the Government. NSWC PC may request further information regarding the capabilities of respondents to meet the requirements and may request a presentation and/or a site visit as deemed necessary. This is a Sources Sought announcement, a market survey for written information only. This is not a solicitation announcement for proposals and no contract will be awarded from this announcement.
