A -- MODIFICATIONS TO AIR DYNAMOMETER, PART NUMBER 1427AS100-1 SOL DAAJ02-95-R-0006 DUE 031095 POC Contract Specialist Samuel R. Thompson, (804) 878-2900/Contracting Officer John H. Barbie, (804) 878-2900. The Army is planning to acquire on an ''other than full and open competitive basis'' a program entitled ''Modifications to Air Dynamometer, Part Number 1427AS100-1.'' Two dynamometers will be modified which are currently configured for testing the Navy's T64 helicopter engines. This acquisition will modify them to test the Army's T53, T55 and T63 helicopter engines. For the most part, the modifications will consist of shortening the rotor blade lengths and installing a torque sensor. The modified dynamometers will be field checked for proper operation and to collect operational data for manufacturing of future dynamometers. The planned Contractor is Northern Research Engineering Corporation (NREC). They own the data rights to the dynamometer's torque sensor design and is the only source for the technical data and tooling required to modify the air dynamometers. Requests for this solicitation must be submitted in writing to the above address. Requests from U.S. and Canadian firms must include business size. Requests received by other means will not be honored. See Numbered Note(s): 22. (0018)
