Description
Type of Action:� Pre-Solicitation Synopsis A previous Sources Sought Notice was issued under N0017822Q4405. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) intends to issue a solicitation for a sole source, follow-on, Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF), Level of Effort contract with Southern Research Institute (SR) to perform thermo-mechanical and aero-thermal ground testing of Thermal Protection System (TPS) materials in ballistic reentry and reentry-like environments, and fabrication of flight hardware for the Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) reentry systems work of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division�s Reentry Systems Office, A06.� This effort is intended to test reentry materials for the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK). A draft Statement of Work (SOW) is attached to this notice. 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 N00178-18-C-4004 by SR, 2000 9th Avenue S, Birmingham, Alabama 35205-2708. SR is the only known contractor who has the specialized, unique test hardware and capability to thermo-mechanically characterize advanced reentry materials to temperatures of 5500F and to aero-thermally test materials/subcomponents in the high heat flux/shear environments characteristic of ballistic reentry environments.� SR continues to be the only facility testing at the temperatures and heat flux ranges of interest for Navy ballistic reentry environments.� 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, if all options are exercised. Firms interested in subcontracting opportunities should contact Southern Research Institute directly.� It is anticipated that the solicitation will be issued on or around 28 October 2022 and will be open for at least 30 days.� Contract award is anticipated approximately around 1 June 2023.� Any questions regarding this Synopsis should be addressed to the Contract Specialist, Tim Kawamoto, at timothy.c.kawamoto.civ@us.navy.mil or the Contracting Officer, Daniel Belcher, at daniel.c.belcher3.civ@us.navy.mil.
