REQUIREMENT: This notice is issued by the U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center, Baltimore, MD to identify sources capable of providing the following: The United States Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center, CPD-3 Shared Services is seeking potential sources to provide physical model tests representing a Coast Guard cutter boat in large seaways in support of a project to determine safe operating limits for high speed boats. The model test facility will construct a model, minimum length of 2 meters nominal 1/3.87 scale model of a 25.5-foot cutter boat. This model will be a free-running self propelled (water jet) model that is fully instrumented to measure 6 degree of freedom motion responses in real time under the control of an autopilot for heading. The model will be water tight with installed instrumentation robustly outfitted to withstand multiple capsize, chine walking, and other extreme dynamic stability events during testing. The model tests program will include roll decay experiments in calm water, dynamic stability experiments in regular waves and seakeeping experiments in longcrested irregular waves. The test facility must have the capability to generate regular waves having steepness of 1/15 at wave length to boat length ratios of.75, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5. The test facility must also have the capability to produce irregular waves representing NATO Sea States 3, 4, and 5 using Bretschneider or JONSWAP wave spectra. The test facility must be able to perform free running model tests at headings 0, 45, 90, 135, 150, 165 and 180 for all tests in waves. Video documentation of test results as well as data analysis of motion measurements will be provided in this project. Submission of information: Companies having capabilities necessary to meet or exceed the stated requirements are invited to provide information to contribute to this market survey/sources sought notice including commercial market information and company information.
