- Description
- Synopsis: The Natick Soldier Research, Development and Engineering Center (NSRDEC) is issuing a source sought notice to identify potential sources preferably within the greater Boston area/Boston Metrowest area/Boston-Worcester Metropolitan areas that can perform customized silicone molding for flexible energy storage device packaging. Description: NSRDEC is interested in scaling up flexible, textile-based energy storage devices developed in-house. NSRDEC has developed initial flexible device prototypes based on a combination of textiles, polymer gels, and silicone in the lab. The silicone material needs to interface with the textile and ultimately encapsulate the entire flexible device. We have proved out an initial device assembly process in the lab. However, there is still a need to optimize and standardize a procedure for silicone incorporation to scale-up our devices. This specialized equipment is not available in-house. Therefore, NSRDEC requires a low volume prototype, silicone molding company that (1) has extensive experience working with a wide range of silicones, (2) can quickly make customized molds for silicone packaging in-house to produce silicone films as thin as 125 m, and (3) work closely with NSRDEC in the device design process. The silicone molding company shall provide services that include: (1)CNC milling for customized silicone molds, (2)Silicone research, development and engineering (RD&E) services, (3)Possess a wide array of silicone incorporation processes, to include injection molding and overmolding, and capability to analyze silicone molding quality, (4)Access to a wide range of silicone material supply, (5)Documentation of RD&E services that contributes to the final design (CAD files, production images, etc.) Estimated Period of Performance: 01 January 2016 - 30 March 2016 Responses: All interested firms and manufacturers, regardless of size, are encouraged to respond to this request for information. Information submissions should include available technology, capabilities, product literature, relevant company background/experience, contact information and cage code. Available product pricing may also be provided as part of the information submission. Information submissions must be received by 10 November 2015. Responses to this notice should be directed to stephanie.f.zopf.civ@mail.mil and christina.l.lewis23.civ@mail.mil This sources sought is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute an Invitation for Bid (IFB) or Request for Proposal (RFP) and is not to be taken as a future commitment by NSRDEC.
