49 -- AIRCRAFT GENERATOR TEST STAND SOL N68335-96-RFI-618 DUE 090896 POC Stephanie Jenkins-Leonard Code 2132SJB129-2, (908) 323-2818. Buyer/Contracting Officer is F. Hufnell. The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst is seeking Non-Developmental Item (NDI) sources, industry comments, product information or proposed ideas for an Aircraft Generator Test Stand (AGTS) to be used for intermediate level maintenance onboard aircraft carriers and at land based sites. The test stand is required to test all aircraft power generation system components currently in the U.S. Navy inventory. The AGTS shall be designed to a modular configuration to allow for tailoring installation configurations to meet the requirements of space constraints found aboard aircraft carriers. The test stand sub-assemblies must be capable of being transported through hatchways on board aircraft carriers that are 75 inches high by 26 inches wide. The AGTS modular configuration shall consist of Variable Speed Drive System (with associated gearbox and gearbox lube assembly), Data Acquisition System (DAS), Test Set Instrumentation, Hydraulic Cooling System for the unit under test, and a Load Bank. The output shaft of the Variable Speed Drive System shall be capable of providing an output speed of 33,000 RPM and output shaft power of 200HP. The Data Acquisition System and Test Set Instrumentation shall provide for controlling, selecting, monitoring and displaying all the required test parameters of the unit under test and of the AGTS. The Load Bank Assembly shall be capable of providing loads in increments or as a shock load of a preset value. The AC and DC Load Bank Systems shall meet the following technical characteristics: AC System: 115/200 volts, 3 phase, 4 wire @400 Hz, Continuous capacity of 90 kva, Overload capacity of 120 kva for 5 seconds, Power factor range of 1.0 to 0.75 lagging, Infinitely variable load steps, Capability to provide shorts to 3 phase input. DC System: 28 volts; 11.2kw (400 amperes @ 28 vdc) continuous infinitely variable load steps. Respondents to this Request for Information are invited to submit a statement of general interest, a discussion of the feasability of the above described modifications, or a statement of capabilities to develop an item with such modifications by 8 September 1996. This synopsis is not a Request for Proposal and does not commit the Government to make an award of a contract. Any information submitted may or may not be included in any future procurement. The Government will not pay for any information that is received in response to this request, nor will the Government compensate any respondents for any costs incurred or associated with the development of any information provided.
