- Draft NRL Statement of Work (SOW) Composite Panel Corrosion Reconditioning Effort This is neither a formal request for proposal (RFP) nor a formal request for quote (RFQ). The Government will not reimburse any costs associated with the development and submission of materials in response to this request. No solicitation is available at this time; however, should such a requirement materialize, no basis for claims against the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) shall arise as a result of a response to this Sources Sought notice or NRL's use of such information as either part of our evaluation process or in developing specifications for any subsequent requirement. OBJECTIVE The Polymer Physics Branch (Code 6126) at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is searching for sources capable of providing the polymer coating. The DOD currently has external structures that have been exposed to environmental elements causing rapid corrosion of exterior wall components. A study was performed by NRL to identify a new coating that would enable protection for the exterior modular walls exposed to corrosive environments. The external walls are a composite system which incorporate two separate steel plates with an insulating polymer (vulcanized rubber) in between. Due to internally generated vibrations within the structure, the vibrations will propagate to the composite walls causing motion within the two steel plates. The relative motion of the two external plates causes traditional paints and coatings to fail through cracking where minimal elongation of the coating is allowed. The crack locations enable exposure of the steel to the elements causing corrosion. An investigation was performed to identify coatings that will enable protection from corrosion and provide high elongations. Within the study polymers including marine paints, epoxy paints and polyureas were studied. In order to aid industry in evaluating their ability to perform the requirement, the following document has been attached and is provided herein this RFI: 1. Draft Statement of Work (SOW) - Composite Panel Corrosion Reconditioning Effort, which is subject to changing. CONTRACTOR RESPONSE FORMAT The NRL asks that interested parties, at a minimum, supply the following information: a. Name of company and point of contact (POC) b. Telephone number, fax number, address, and e-mail address of POC c. Business size and number of employees d. Capabilities statement, including relevant experience in providing the required supply. Capabilities Statement Please provide information about your company's ability to meet the requirements specified in the attached draft requirements document. Please address the following in the Capabilities Statement. 1. Pricing, Schedule, and Commerciality Information NRL is requesting interested contractors to provide pricing information for the Deposition Systems, including catalog prices, rough order of magnitude costs, and delivery schedule. 2. Assumptions Please provide a list of assumptions, if any, which were considered in formulating the response. 3. Past Performance Information Please provide in the response a list of Navy, Department of Defense, federal, or commercial contracts supported during the past 36 months, with a brief description of the supply or service provided per each contract. SUBMISSION OF INFORMATION All information and data received in response to this RFI marked or designated as corporate or proprietary information will be protected as such. Please transmit responses by e-mail to Lorenza Barnes, Contract Specialist, at lorenza.barnes@nrl.navy.mil in either Microsoft Office or pdf formats. All responses 10 July 2015.
