A -- LARGE BLAST/THERMAL SIMULATOR (LB/TS) CALCULATIONAL SUPPORT POC Neil Gross, Negotiator, (703) 325-7658, Scott Morton, Contracting Officer, (703) 325-1200. Contract effort will include but not be limited to develop calculational models for description of the airblast, thermal and combined blast/thermal environments in the LB/TS, develop a PC/workstation based model and install the SHARC code on a Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) work-station to provide tools for DNA scientists to perform test and environment predictions and analysis, and provide general support as part of the LB/TS facility characterization, including the Boundary Layer mapping. Contemplated period of performance is 3 months. DNA plans to award a sole source contract, DNA001-93-C-0140-P00008, to S-Cubed Division, Maxwell Laboratories, Inc., 3398 Carmel Mountain Road, San Diego, CA 92121-1095. DNA believes that S-Cubed Division, Maxwell Laboratories, Inc. is the only source able to fill this requirement because they have participated in the LB/TS program as a principal provider of calculational support throughout the facility characterization. S-Cubed has also brought the standalone PC-model through a complex development process. The PC-model is currently being evaluated and tested in a Beta version. LB/TS has been designated for some non-standard, or alternative methods of performing blast simulation. The program which this supports is scheduled for completion by the first quarter of FY97, which deletes the time to transition the codes and development, or permit training of another performer for this task. Any other firm desiring consideration must fully identify its capability to perform the requirement. See Note 22. A solicitation will be issued to S-Cubed Division, Maxwell Laboratories, Inc. on or about 1 Dec 95. For information contact Neil O. Gross, at (703) 325-7658. Information on DNA solicitations, already released, can be obtained by calling the DNA Hotline at (703) 325-1173. Reference Synopsis No. 96-11 (0324)
