- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to issue a solicitation for a sole source, follow-on, Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) contract with Southern Research Institute (SR) in support of thermos-mechanical and ground testing of reentry materials, and fabrication of flight hardware for the Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) reentry systems work for the NSWCDD'S Reentry Systems Office. This effort is intended to provide replacement or alternate materials for advanced reentry applications for the US and the UK. This requirement will be solicited in accordance with the authority of 10 U.S. C 2304 (c) (1) and FAR Part 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii), "Only One Responsible Source". The support is currently being provided to the Navy under contract N00178-15-C-1008 by SR, 2000 9th Avenue S, Birmingham, Alabama 35205-2708. SR has proprietary facilities, test methods and test specimens that accommodate both the unusual architectural aspects of reentry materials and has the capability to thermo-mechanically characterize advanced reentry materials to temperatures of 5500 degrees Fahrenheit and to aero-thermally test materials/subcomponents in the high heat flux environments that characterize ballistic reentry. Under this requirement, new test results must be compared with previous test results. New tests of materials must be performed in a like manner, using the same unique facilities, equipment, and technical expertise as was used in the previous tests. Due to the complexity of the tests and the need for consistency between tests, it is essential that SR perform the work. The contract will include a one year base period and four one year option periods. The period of performance is anticipated to be for a total length of sixty (60) months. Responsible sources may identify their interest and capability which shall be considered by the agency. This notice is NOT a request for competitive proposals. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This notice is a synopsis and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) and it is not a commitment by the U.S. Navy to procure the subject services. Firms interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Southern Research Institute directly. It is anticipated that the solicitation will be issued on or around 17 July 2017 and will be open for 30 days. Contract award is anticipated approximately around 17 May 2018. Any questions regarding this synopsis should be addressed to the Contract Specialist, Daniel Belcher, at Daniel.belcher@navy.mil or the Contracting Officer, Michelle Briscoe, at michelle.briscoe@navy.mil.
