- Description
- NSWC Philadelphia, PA is seeking expressions of interest, general information, and data from potential sources to demonstrate the capability to provide an improved flow sensor switch for use in US Navy ships. The sensor will be used to replace an obsolete component used by oil water separator (OWS) model OPB-10NP. The primary purpose of the sensor will be pump protection in the event of a no-flow condition. The sensor is to be designed for pipe insertion through a 6", 4 bolt, 150# ANSI RF Flange. The sensor must be constructed of corrosion resistant materials, be suitable for use with oily waste water and seawater, and meet Navy shock (grade B) and vibe requirements (type II). The sensor should be able to handle ambient temperatures as high as 200 0 F and fluid temperatures ranging from 40 0 to 120 0 F. An ambient temperature range of -40 0 to 160 0 F is desired for electronic components. The sensor must be able to utilize a power supply of 120VAC, 60Hz. The electronics will be connected to the OWS model OPB-10NP control panel. The sensor must include or be compatible with a time delay to allow the pump to run for 2 minutes at start-up to establish suction, but alarm and cause a pump shut-down at any time after two minutes if a no flow condition is detected. Submissions for this announcement shall include the following information: 1. Past experience with manufacturing and qualification testing of similar types of flow sensors and switches including details of products and capabilities. This shall include experience with flow sensor performance in various types of petroleum products, and material compatibility including (fresh and salt) water contaminations. In addition, production flexibility, the cost of relatively small production runs (<1000 elements per year), warranties, and customer Points of Contact, including phone numbers, shall be provided. 2. An estimate of parts support, upgrades, and improvements expected over a 20 year life expectancy. A description of preventive and corrective maintenance required over the life of the sensor. 3. A wiring diagram sufficient to understand the controls provided with the sensor and to determine how to connect the sensor to the OWS model OPB-10NP. This is not a request for proposal and does not commit the Government to the award of a contract. Any comments provided may or may not be included in a formal solicitation. The Government will not pay for any information received in response to this announcement nor will the Government compensate any respondent for any costs incurred in developing the information provided to the Government.
