F -- SOURCES SOUGHT IN OPTIMIZING DRIVABILITY AND EMISSION PERFORMANCE OF CONVERTED COMPRESSD NATURAL GAS VEHICLES SOL N47408-97-R-2303 SOURCES SOUGHT ONLY DUE 121996 POC Contract Specialist, PAULETTE K. PETERSON, 805-982-5081 The Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC) is seeking sources in improving converted Compress Natural Gas (CNG) vehicle emissions and operating performance. The object of the project is two fold: (1) to determine the best operating condiion (setup) for many different types of light-duty converted CNG vehicles that result in lowest emissions with acceptable range, performance, and reliability and, (2) to verify installed conversion systems meet emission and performance requirements. The prject will be divided into two categories: (1) I/M 240 tests and repair on vehicles that have already been converted and, (2) FTP tests on vehicles that are to be converted both before and after conversion. A maxium of 30 vehicles of ten different types will be tested. Vehicle emissions measurements of NMHCs, CO, NOx, and total HCs by prescribed Federal or State methods are required. Emission test results, interpetation of emissions results, and analysis of failures are required to be reported to NFESC at the conclusion of the project. Respondents must be capable of optimizing drivability and emissions performance of converted CNG vehicles. Respondents must have fcilities, equipment, and experienced personnel to perform vehicle I/M 240 and FTP emissions tests. Respondents must submit supporting documentation of capabilities to: DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY, CBC CODE 272311 BLDG 41, 1000 23RD AVENUE, PORT HUENEME, CA 93043-4301. Deadline for receipt of response is December 19, 1996. (0341)
