A -- REMOTE SENSING OF CREVICE CORROSION SOL N00167-97-Q-0015 DUE 050597 POC Brian White (301)227-1867 fax 1847 The Carderock Division Naval Surface Warfare Center intends to award a sole source contract to Faraday Technologies Inc. using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. These unique services are in support of the Alloy 625 Life Cycle program. The objective is to develop crevice corrosion data in representiative configurations which could stay ahead of the lead ship in the class and provide the technical basis for establishment of inspection an maintenance periodicity. Faraday Technologies has been very instramental in the development of a remote corrosion detection device. The leading candidate for this device is the Smart O-Ring. this procurement is for the continued testing and monitoring of the device currently under evaluation at the Naval Research facility in Key West, Fl. (see Note 22) (0111)
