Objective: To find sources that are qualified to meet the supplies/services as listed in section 11B. Note that the specific requirements in section C are subject to change prior to the release of any solicitation. B. Salient Characteristics CLIN 0001 The Contractor shall provide one (1) Non-intrusive Stress Measurement System (NSMS), including all necessary hardware and software to meet the requirements listed below. •Sixteen (16) channel high speed Data Acquisition System (DAQ) for NSMS measurements oNSMS measurements shall be made on turbochargers for diesel engines in high temperature environments of up to nine hundred (900) °Celsius (C). Shaft speeds may reach two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) rotations per minute (rpm). oThe system shall be able to operate without a once per revolution signal, such as that from a turbocharger speed sensor. oThe system shall process and display NSMS data in real time, including campbell diagrams, blade resonances, and blade deflection levels. Software that can only display such information through post-processing is not acceptable. oThe Government requires the ability to simultaneously measure blade deflections in a compressor wheel and a turbine wheel, each instrumented with eight (8) probes. The DAQ system shall be able to process and display the data for the two (2) wheels separately, and in real time. •Operator interface computer with monitor, keyboard and mouse. •Mobile cart to mount DAQ and computer. •Sixteen (16) channels of laser detection modules, for connection to DAQ oThe system shall allow the operator to set the laser power level at which a blade triggers the detector independently for each blade. oThe modules shall include a safety interlock feature. •All necessary cables to connect laser detector to DAQ, each at least one hundred (100) feet long. •Sixteen (16) channel air cooling system for probes in hot environments •Twenty-Four (24) air-cooled optical probes with a tip diameter of 1/16" or less, each at least twenty-five (25) feet in length. •Thirty-two (32) probe holders, ¼" in diameter or less, for mounting optical probes •Real-time NSMS analysis non-expiring software license, with one (1) year of maintenance for sixteen (16) channel high speed DAQ. •Off-line NSMS analysis non-expiring software license with one (1) year of maintenance for the software package. •The Contractor shall provide a one (1) year warranty on all hardware. CLIN 0002 The Contractor shall provide an auxiliary data acquisition system for recording pressure, accelerometer, and temperature data from a Government-Owned turbocharger research facility. •Sixteen (16) channel data acquisition module for type-K thermocouples, sampled at least Fifty (50) Hertz (Hz). •Eight (8) channel data acquisition module for 0-10 VDC (volts of direct current) analog input, sampled at up to one hundred (100) kilohertz (kHz). •Eight (8) channel data acquisition module for 0-20 milliamp (mA) analog input, sampled at up to one hundred (100) kHz. •User-interface non-expiring software license to allow users to view and record the above channels, with a time stamp for every time a data sample is taken. •User-input gain and offset information for each of the channels in CLIN0002 o convert mA/VDC to real units such as kilopascals (kPa), gs of acceleration (g), degrees Celsius (°C), etc. •User-input channel names for all of the above channels. •User-input recording speed for all of the above channels, at up to one hundred (100) kHz. •Data output format will be in.txt files. CLIN 0003 The Contractor shall provide onsite training for two (2) separate weeks by an engineer with expertise in the NSMS. The first week shall be for the initial start-up of the instrumentation and training on how to use it. The second week of training will take place once the Government has installed the systems from CLIN 0001 and 0002 in their turbocharger test facility, and is ready to exercise the full capability of the system. The Government plans to complete installation of this facility in the latter half of 2018. CLIN 0004 The Contractor shall provide remote technical support and consultation for NSMS analysis over the phone and internet for a period extending one (1)year from the delivery of hardware to the Government. C. Responses: All interested parties should notify this office in writing, mail, fax, or e-mail within the posted date. Responses shall include: (I)To what extent each of the specifications can be met. (II) Include your type of business (i.e. commercial, academia), whether your organization is classified as a large or small business based on the1250 Employees standard that accompanies NAICS code 541712. If a small business, you must also list any small disadvantaged status you hold [HUBZone, 8(a), Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Women Owned Small Business (WOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), etc.]. (III)Past experience/ performance through the description of completed projects. (12) Responses to this sources sought are due no later than 11:59 am eastern standard time 5 days after posting. Submissions should be emailed to Christine Chase, Christine.m.chase10.civ@mail.mil. Questions concerning this sources sought may be directed to Christine Chase at Christine.m.chase10.civ@mail.mil. Please be advised that.zip and.exe files cannot be accepted.
