The CH-47 vibration environment is identified in AVRADCOM Technical Report 83-D-21, ?Interior Noise and Vibration Measurements on Operational Military Helicopters and Comparisons with Various Ride Quality Criteria?. The trailer panel for the main floor of the trailer shall mitigate the accelerations at the peak primary frequency identified for helicopter H-7. The contractor shall fabricate sample fiber reinforced plastic composite test panels for the vibration dampening study, as necessary. A final test report will summarize the findings, and provide design and manufacturing suggestions to dampen the effects of the vibration on the trailer. The contractor shall conduct a structural analysis of the floor and side wall panels. They will also conduct a finite element analysis (F.E.A) on the medical trailer panels to confirm their structural analysis. The F.E.A analysis will be a structural analysis of the assembled trailer panels (floor panel, end walls, and side walls) to determine distributed load and point load capabilities. The max gross payload, including the weight of the panels, is 2,000 lbs. The panels shall be fabricated using multi-side resin infusion. The panel matrix shall include fiberglass reinforcements, PET foam core, thermoset fire retardant phenolic resin, and carbon fiber if proven to be cost effective., 1, EA; Option 1 Period of Performance: 12/06/2016 - 03/06/2017 LI 001: Option 1: Incorporate vibration engineering technology into the panels to find the best solution for isolating the trailer from the CH-47 helicopter. Fabricate prototype test article panels to analyse and confirm the effectiveness of the various vibration dampening technologies. Report describing the vibration isolating technologies used, and a description of laminates and materials used for the composite test articles matrix., 1, EA; Option 2 Period of Performance: 03/07/2017 - 06/07/2017 LI 001: Option 2: Manufacture three complete sets of prototype composite medical trailer panels with the vibration dampening solutions integrated into the panels. The panels will be fabricated using multi-side resin infusion. The vibration dampened medical trailer panels matrix shall include fiberglass reinforcements, PET foam core, thermoset fire retardant phenolic resisn, composite or alloy close out extrusions, and potted inserts for tie-down rings. Enginering drawings will be provided in appendix A of the SOW to show the dimension and thickness requirements of the trailer?s composite panels. Deliver a CAD drawing package for the composite parts with descriptions of the laminates and materials used., 1, EA; Solicitation and Buy Attachments ***Question Submission: Interested offerors must submit any questions concerning the solicitation at the earliest time possible to enable the Buyer to respond.
