The anticipated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code assigned to this procurement is 541330. BACKGROUND The Department�s Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Physical Security Research and Development Branch (DS/PSD/RD) has evidence that the adhesive bonds of glass to PVB (polyvinyl butyral), glass to PC (polycarbonate) and PC to PC degrade over time.� The degradation in the case of the glass to PVB adhesion can be caused by moisture migration in the PVB from the edges to the center of the layup.� A widely viewed source of the degradation in the adhesive bond related to PC results from differences in the thermal expansion and contraction during thermal cycles. A second view is the inherent stresses in the materials resulting from the lamination process. PSD/RD needs to determine if this loss of adhesion negatively effects the layups� blast resistant properties and to what degree depending on the percentage of adhesion degradation.�� DESCRIPTION OF NEED See attached SOW. Response Instructions: Sources who are able to satisfy the requirement as described above are invited to submit information describing their technical approach.� Responses must be submitted electronically, limited to 10 pages or less, in Microsoft Word or Adobe Portable Document format (PDF), using Times New Roman, 12-point font, 1 inch margins on all sides, on 8.5 in x 11 in paper.
