A -- CHEMICAL PROPULSION INFORMATION ANALYSIS CENTER Sol. DLA900-95-R-1003. Due 081495. POC: Johanna Moore, 513-296-8564 or Contracting Officer, Cheryl A. Montoney, 513-296-8564. Establishment and Operation of DoD Chemical Propulsion Information Analysis Center (CPIA) to be awarded for a three (3) year period with option to extend for one additional two (2) year period. Contractor shall be responsible for collection, review, analysis, appraisal and summary of information related to research and development of military applications of chemical, electrical, and nuclear propulsion Scientific and Technical Information (STI) applied to missile, space vehicla, and gun technologies within the scope of CP:IA. Primary users are scientists, engineers, and technicians engaged in scientific and engineering programs for DoD. Other users include other U.S. Gov't Agencies and their contractors and the Private Sector consistent with security and other limitations on the Center's information. Specific areas of interest include but are not limited to: (1) hardware items, including solid, liquid, hybrid, airbreathing, electrical and nuclear propulsion systems and components; (2) components, including cases, nozzles, thrust vector control/thrust magnitude control systems, gas generators, propellant grains, insulators, restrictors, liners, primers, igniters, injectors, baffles, fuel management systems, propellant tanks, turbopumps, thrust chambers, ramburners, flameholders, inlets, electrodes, gun tubes and breeches, propellant actuated devices, propellants, fuels and inert and energetic ingredients; (3) technology areas, including ingredient synthesis; manufacturing, fabrication, processing, and characterization; thermochemistry; steady-state, transient, unstable, subsonic and supersonic conbustion; detonation; physical, chemical, thermodynamic, mechanical and ballistic properties of oxidizers, binders, plasticizers, stablizers, burning rate modifiers, propellants, fuels, pyrotechnics, and explosives; interior and terminal ballistics; fluid dynamics; reacting flows; analytical and diagnostic test procedures; performance prediction and measurement; health montitoring and control; nondestructive evaluation; service life; reliability; life-scope costs; safety; occupational and explosive hazards; insensitive munitions; environmental protection; exhaust plume flow fields and signatures; propellant processing and manufacturing; structural integrity and reliability analysis and verification; mechanical behavior and characterization; thermal analysis and heat transfer; system and mission analyses; and material applicable to missiles, space vehicles, and guns. In addition, the contractor shall provide support to the Joint Army-Navy-NAVA-Air Force (JANNAF) Interagency Propulsion Committee (IPC). The contractor must have the capability to prepare authoritative technical reference works including software, databases, technical handbooks, State-of-the-Reports, critical reviews, technology assessments and respond to technical and bibliographic inquiries. The contractor who operates the center will employ a full time resident staff, knowledgeable in the subject areas and in those disciplines related to the operational requirements of the center. Sources must have the capability of a full-service Information Analysis Center located in a research and development laboratory with immediate access on a part-time as needed basis to scientific and engineering expertise in the range of subjects and dicciplines within the Center's scope of work and whose expert's primary assignments are research and development in the required disciplines. The issue date for the solicitation SPO900-95-R-1003 is on or about 29 Jun 95. To request a copy of the solicitation, send a written request to DESC-EACC, Attn: J. Moore, 1507 Wilmington Pike, Dayton, OH 45444-5181, FAX (513) 296-8691. The date and time (approximately 15 days after issue of the solicitation) of the preproposal conference will be contained in the solicitation. The estimated closing date will be approximately 45 days after the issue date. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered for award by the Defense Logistics Agency. (128)
