A -- PETROLEUM QUALITY ANALYSIS SYSTEM SOL DAAE07-95-R-9001 POC Contact Point, William L. Davis, (703)704-2167, Contracting Officer, Robert E. Tobey, (703)704-2199 The US Army has a requirement for analysis and definition of the total system design requirements for the Petroleum Quality Analysis System (PQAS), and for verification that selected subsystem components can be developed and integrated to meet the defined performance requirements. The contractor will develop system design concepts and conduct tradeoff studies and system effectiveness analysis to define a set of feasible system and subsystem design requirements for a tactical fuel quality surveillance mobile laboratory using state-of-the-art or emerging fuel testing methodologies. Testing methodologies to be investigated include both direct and indirect measurement techniques, e.g. Near Infrared (NIR) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and gas chromatography. The contractor shall design, assemble and test selected subsystem components in fuel quality analysis instrumentation to verify that the performance and design requirements can be satisfied. Delivery of Technology Demonstrator comprised of subsystem components and support of Government testing required. Performance period approximately 30 months. Reference Solicitation No. DAAE07-95-R-9001. (0046)
