- Draft SOW 2.5in_HiCap 20160309 Notice of Intent to Sole Source, IAW FAR 6.302-1(10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1)), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies Will Satisfy Agency Requirements; whereby Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC), Arnold AFB, TN, intends to award a contract to Triumph Aerospace Systems- Newport News, Inc., 703 Middle Ground Blvd., Newport News, VA 23606-2512. The agency does not intend to issue a solicitation package. However, all interested parties should self-identify and provide proof of their firm's capability to provide the prescribed equipment/product(s) by submitting an accurate description of the equipment/product(s) and process to produce the equipment/product(s) detailed in the attached draft Statement of Work (SOW). All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by AEDC. Interested parties are hereby informed that no award will be made on the basis of responses received. Responses must be electronically sent Mrs. Tyler Payne (tyler.payne.9@us.af.mil). If no favorable responses are received by the required response date annotated in this special notice, a contract will be negotiated with the above named source. A brief description is provided; interested offerors should refer to the attached SOW for a complete description of the equipment/products(s) required. A strain gage balance is sensitive electronic instrumentation that is one of the primary data collection devices within a wind tunnel model. Wind tunnel balances come in a variety of configurations, but the most common is the six-component balance. It is capable of measuring forces and moments acting on a wind tunnel model in six directions simultaneously: forward/back (axial force), left/right (side force), up/down (normal force), nose up/down (pitching moment), nose left/right (yawing moment), and twist left/right (rolling moment). The size of these balances varies and can depend on the number of components as well as the balance load rating. Typical six-component balances range in size from 0.30" to 4.0" in outer diameter, but smaller and larger sizes are possible depending on the application. AEDC/TSTW is seeking to acquire two six component balances that have an outside diameter of 2.5 inches and approximately 16.0 inches in overall length with a high-load capacity to meet our customer needs. Within the external framework of a balance is a set of strain gages which measure electrical resistance. The resistance measured from the gages will change as the balance is deflected under an applied load. A correlation is made between the load applied and the electrical resistance, and that correlation is used to determine loads on a model undergoing testing in the wind tunnel.
