99 -- CORRUGATION OF COMMON MARINE MATERIALS (METALS) SOL N00024- POC Greg D. Woods, 703-602-0775, Ext. 116. METALLIC CORRUGATION FABRICATORS - POTENTIAL SOURCES SOUGHT The Naval Sea Systems Command is conducting a market survey to determine the existence or interest of sources who possess the capability to form corrugation of one or more of the following common marine matrials, e.g.. steel, aluminum and titanium alloys. Current corrugation gauge thicknesses of interest range from 0.025 inches to 0.1875 inches. Height of the corrugations will vary from .75 inch to 5 inch deep. Such corrugations are usually formed by press brake or roll former. The average minimum tensile strength of corrugation material before formed is 50 KSI(345MPA). The US Navy Laser Welded Corrugated Core (LASCOR) Structures Technology Program has matured to the point that serious consideration is now given to whether there currently exist metallic fabricators with full production capacity to form corrugations over a range thickness. Potential US Navy ship applications for corrugations are bulkheads, ramps, platforms, deckhouses/superstructures, large doors, foundations, conflagration stations, etc. Sources interested in bidding on future job(s) for production of corrugations as specified within the range cited above should respond that you are interested and address what impact/considerations must be given to enhance your current capability to accomodate your interest in full production. Additionally, all interested firms should provide pertinent information concerning current in-house capabilities and practices, quality assurance procedures, production quantity, years of experience, current principle product line, and mode of operation (i.e., press brake and/or roll former). Firms are invited to submit documentation responsive to the above in sufficient detail to Mr. Greg D. Woods, COM (703) 602-0775, Ext. 116, not later than April 8, 1996 to SEA 03P1, Naval Sea Systems Command, National Center Bldg. 4, Washington, DC 20362-5160. This announcement is a request for information only and is not a request for proposal (RFP) or announcement of solicitation. Response to this announcement is on a voluntary basis; the Navy neither intends to award a contract on the basis of this request nor to otherwise pay for information provided. (0058)
