- Description
- CDRLs Initial Broad Agency Announcement This IDIQ contract will require the contractor to conduct on-site (Building 490, Area B, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio) basic and applied research and development relating to critical turbine engine lubrication system technology targeted for high performance, highly efficient & adaptive turbine engines being developed under the Versatile Affordable Advanced Turbine Engine (VAATE) program. The VAATE program goals will require a 50 to 100%F increase in engine lubrication system thermal capability, a 40% increase in bearing load, and a 25% increase in bearing speed capacity over current state-of-the-art military aircraft engines. Potential future engine designs will push this performance envelope even further. Trends towards longer mechanical component life and condition-based maintenance plus (CBM+) will also require accurate and timely interrogation of engine mechanical system health, necessitating the development of innovative diagnostic and prognostic lube system technologies complemented by novel automated approaches for effectively implementing and managing these. The objectives of this program include developing advanced turbine engine lubrication system technologies that enable higher temperature, improved heat sink, and effective thermal management capability. The development and fusion of prognostic & diagnostic technologies and algorithms to accurately and rapidly assess engine mechanical system health and reliability is also desired. Additionally, efforts to further the basic understanding of oil coke formation mechanisms and developing practical material solutions to minimize or altogether prevent oil coke formation in high temperature engine environments are sought. This program will require occasional fielded mechanical and lubrication system support to enhance warfighter readiness and technology transition potential.

Direct questions to the Contracting point of contact identified in the announcement.
