- Description
- The Air Force needs a source to complete a study on how environmental changes impacts nitroglycerin dynamite sticks. The Air Force needs to determine the impact of temperature and humidity on this dynamite for reliability and safety with safety being the primary factor. The Air Force is specifically interested in these temperatures and humidities: Hot: 160 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit; Cold: -40 to -60 degrees Fahrenheit; low Relative Humidity (RH): 5 to 25 RH; and high RH 80 to 95 RH. A statistically significant sample (defined at time of contract per recommendation of contractor) of government furnished ½ pound nitroglycerin dynamite sticks shall be temperature cycled at several ranges within the evaluation limits. The temperature cycled dynamite, as well as a control group of dynamite, shall be evaluated for chemical changes that may impact reliability and safety. A working knowledge of explosive material and experience in the explosive field is required. A thorough safety plan will be required. A general test outline shall be provided as part of the response to the source sought. The outline shall be specific enough for the Air Force to determine expected data, recommended sample size, safety concerns and precautions, and test process. The sources sought response shall have an estimate cost and schedule for budgetary purposes only along with the test outline as defined above.
