15 -- MARKET SURVEY -- TARGET SPARES SOL DAAH01-00000000 DUE 042597 POC Steve Wright Technical POC 205-876-4058. (MA) The U.S. Army Missile Command is searching the market for qualified sources who are interested in providing TARGETS spares that utilize Digital Data Drawings. These parts have their shape controlled by the surface contour requirements of the MQM-107. The surface contour information takes two forms: (1) Master Lines Drawings (MLD) which are traditional drawings on stable base media portraying parallel cuts through a shape at known intervals to depict the surface contour, and (2) Surface Model Data (SMD) which are electronic digital versions of the MLDs on Digital Data Drawings (DDD) that use the MLD as reference only. The SMD is provided in Autodesk Design Expert format and in IGES V3.0 format in ISO 9660 CD ROM Media. There are a variety of parts utilizing various materials and manufacturing processes with the allowable production tolerance typically being a .060" surface profile. Examples of materials and processes include 1) Thermoformed Acrylic PVC Sheet, 2) Injection Molded Polypropylene Plastic, 3) Multi-ply Fiberglass Lay-up, 4) Sewn Vinyl Coated Cotton Cloth, 5) Aluminum Castings requiring flourescent dye penetrent inspection, 6) Formed Aluminum Sheet, 7) Formed Aluminum Sheet with subsequent heat treat IAW MIL-H-6088, 8) Spun and Formed Aluminum Sheet with subsequent heat treat IAW MIL-H-6088(Final Assembly using thermosetting structural adhesives), Formed Aluminum Sheet with subsequent heat treat IAW MIL-H-6088(Final Assembly using thermosetting structural adhesives), 9) Formed Aluminum Sheet with subsequent heat treat IAW MIL-H-6088(Final Assembly of structural members and skin to aluminum honeycomb core sandwich panels using thermosetting structural adhesives), 10) Injection molded polypropylene plastic and formed aluminum sheet with subsequent heat treat IAW MIL-H-6088(Final Assembly of structural members of skin to aluminum honeycomb core sandwich panels using thermosetting structural adhesives), 11) Multi-ply fiberglass lay-up and formed aluminum sheet with subsequent heat treat IAW MIL-H-6088(Final Assembly of structural members and skin to aluminum honeycomb core sandwich panels using thermosetting structural adhesives) and machining of 2024-T351 aluminum stock and forming of aluminum sheet with subsequent heat treat IAW MIL-H-6088 (Final assembly of structural members and skin to aluminum honeycomb core sandwich panels using thermosetting structural adhesives) Interested sources should submit a capabilities statement that identifies the type of equipment your company has available, experience level of employees utilizing this technology (state any specialized process certifications that exist (especially as relates to aircraft manufacturing), past corporate expreience in this type of technology and the process controls that are utilized in your operations. Statement must be sent to US Army Missile Command, ATTN: AMSMI-AC-CDA/TARGETS, REDSTONE ARSENAL, AL 35898. Additional technical information can be obtained from Steve Wright, 205-876-4058. (0085)
