- A-10 Fuel Valves Statement of Work_DRAFT NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE: Arnold Engineering Development Complex (AEDC), Arnold AFB TN 37389 intends to award a contract to Rogerson Aircraft Equipment Group, 16940 Von Karman, Irvine, CA, 92606-4923. This requirement is for the purchase of A-10 Fuel Valves. The following are the salient characteristics that are required for AEDC: REQUIRED SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS FOR A-10 FUEL VALVES AEDC shall create an analytical model of the A-10 fuel system to determine the maximum fuel surge pressures that could result from engaging in refueling operations with an Italian KC-767A. The analytical model shall account for all fuel lines, elbows, junctions, and valves that exist just aft of the Universal Aerial Refueling Receptacle Slipway Installation (UARRSI) to each of the four internal shut-off valves and one external tank shut-off-valve as represented in Figure 1. For reference, all fuel pressures and flow rates produced by the KC-767A are listed in Figure 2 even though the A-10 will only refuel with no more than two pumps at a time. AEDC shall feed all of the inlet pressures and flow rates listed in Table 1 into the analytical model and determine the resulting maximum surge pressures in the system. Table 1 represents the flow rates and boom nozzle pressures supplied by the KC-767A during refueling operations under two conditions: one pump running, and two tanker pumps running. These conditions shall be evaluated in two separate scenarios: A) All five A-10 shut-off-valves closing simultaneously and B) Each of the five valves shutting off one by one. This information will be used by the A-10 SPO to make the final determination as to any damage that may result to the system. AEDC shall validate the model by comparing surge pressures to those obtained in the 1975 ground test results summarized in Table 2. If simulated surge pressures differ by more than + or - 5 PSIG from the legacy ground test, AEDC shall document this discrepancy and give an explanation as to why the discrepancy exists. More information on ground test procedures can be found in report GT160R00093. AEDC shall summarize all work accomplished under this SOW, including the methods, programs, and any additional data required to determine the surge pressures, such that a competent fluids engineer could recreate the analysis. The final technical report and data deemed useful by the A-10 SPO shall be delivered according to section 4.1. (Please see attached Statement of Work-DRAFT) This synopsis is approved for a sole sources contract action as authorized in FAR 6.302-1 (supplies or services are considered to be available from only one source). No solicitation package will be issued. However, all interested sources may identify their interest but most provide proof of capability to provide an acceptable product by submitting an accurate description of the equipment offered, make and model numbers of the equipment, pricing data, and warranties. Only responses containing this data will be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Award will not be made on the basis of responses received to this synopsis. If no favorable responses are received by 2:00 PM CST on 03 February 2017, a contract will be negotiated with the above named source.
