16 -- COATING TECHNOLOGY/COATING TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION POC Lisa Adams, Contracting Officer, (513) 255-5107. COATING TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION OFFICE. POC Ms Lisa M. Adams, Contracting Officer, 513-255-5107, Aeronautical Systems Center, Subsystems System Program Office, Wright-Patterson AFB OH. The USAF is developing a list of potential sources of off-the-shelf formulations of superior, state-of-the-art paints and coatings for use on aerospace structural materials and operational USAF aircraft. The Materials Directorate, Wright Laboratory is interested in topcoat and corrosion inhibiting primer coatings which could be successfully applied to composites, ferrous alloys, titanium, and aluminum alloys in the 2000 and 7000 series. The USAF intends to evolve new coating performance requirements and procurement specifications based on the demonstrated results of testing these superior materials. To validate this performance capability, vendors may be requested at some future date to provide, at no-cost to the government, samples of their best coatings which they feel will satisfy the intended use. Provided coatings would be subjected to military and commercial test methods to simulate USAF operational environments. Some important properties of the desired superior coatings are: environmental compliance, excellent weatherability, excellent protection against corrosion, and good mechanical properties. Testing of the samples would be accomplished under the control of Wright Laboratory's, Materials Directorate. Parties who are interested in submitting samples or technical data should identify themselves to the Contracting Officer, Ms Lisa M. Adams, ASC/SMKAA, Building 46LL, 1895 Fifth St., Wright-Patterson AFB OH 45433-7200, 513-255-5107, fax 513-255-0987, within 30 days of publication of this notice. This announcement is a request for identification of potential sources only and is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or announcement of solicitation. The USAF neither intends to award a contract on the basis of this solicitation nor to otherwise pay for the information solicited in this discussion. Respondents are requested to describe their firm's product, capability, capacity, expertise, facilities, and experience in meeting aerospace finishing requirements. Please do not submit any material samples at this time. Technical questions may be directed to Ms. Lynne Pfledderer, WL/MLSA, 513-255-5117. Response to this announcement is on a voluntary basis and failure to respond will not impact any future acquisitions. (0046)
