- Description
- RECOVERY--RECOVERY--Under this topic, the Government invites proposals for projects to explore the further development of efficient, high temperature SiC power electronics to be used in military vehicles that encompass hybrid electric mobility and power generation systems. The government desires SiC power electronics that can operate with coolant inlet temperatures at 100C or higher. Increased coolant temperatures increase cooling efficiency and allow for reduced cooling system size. The power electronics developed must use the SiC power semiconductors to maximize efficiency, power density (kW/liter) and specific power (kW/kg), while maintaining or improving power converter reliability. The corresponding reductions in size and weight for the cooling system and the electrical power converter, along with increased cooling efficiency and power conversion efficiency will make vehicle electric and hybrid electric power systems smaller, lighter and more fuel-efficient. Estimated Maximum Government funding available for Topic #20 is $12.15M. The Government reserves the right to award part or all of an offerors proposal resulting in one or multiple contracts (for various amounts, but the sum of multiple contract awards shall not exceed $12.15M) that may address one or more or all of the Power Converter Types listed in the attachment at subparagraph 2.b of the Description section. The topic was amended on 08 Jun 2009 to include footnotes to the Power Converter Types to provide additional details. The topic was amended again on 29 Jun 2009 to extend the proposal due date to 24 Jul 2009. Potential offerors should access the full topic description by clicking the link below or copying and pasting the following URL: http://contracting.tacom.army.mil/baa/05RBAA1/topics.htm Solicitation terms and conditions and proposal submission instructions for this Broad Agency Anouncement can be accessed by copying and pasting the following URL: http://contracting.tacom.army.mil/baa/05RBAA1/05RBAA1.htm Special Proposal Instructions: All proposals must be submitted by 3:00 PM EST on July 24, 2009 using the ASFI Bid Response System (BRS), which may be accessed at https://acquisition.army.mil/asfi/default.cfm. You will find Topic 20 for proposal submission by searching Contracting Opportunities for 'TARBAATOPIC20.' As reflected by the results of this search, proposals for Topic 20 may be uploaded via the ASFI BRS at the following URL: https://acquisition.army.mil/asfi/solicitation_view.cfm?solicitationnbr=TARBAATOPIC20
