NSWCDD Dahlgren Laboratory Procurement Division Web,
http://www.nswc.navy.mil/supply. E-MAIL: Contract Specialist for
Sources Sought N00178-99-Q-1005, jonessm@nswc.navy.mil. Provide support
through test and analysis to determine the vulnerability/ survivability
of foreign and domestic air and surface targets and their vital
components to various damage mechanisms including: Fragments,
projectiles, continuous rods, discrete rods, shaped charge, reactive
fragments, and blast through test and analysis. Provide Hydrocode
capabilities to model warheads and fragment mass distribution during
explosive tests. Determine the vulnerability of cased and bare High
Explosive (HE) and solid propellants up to 4,000 pounds in weight to
single and multiple impacts from projectiles, fragments, continuous
rods, discrete rods, reactive fragments and shaped charge. Design,
fabricate, explosively load, static fire, reduce and assess data for
experimental fragment/blast warheads and rocket motors. Perform
melt/cast pour of explosive targets up to 2,000 pounds. Perform
Insensitive munitions tests. Perform UNDOT test for classification of
explosives. Provide single shot firing tests for target vulnerability
accuracy and plate penetration at ranges of up to 3,000 meters. Muzzle
and striking velocities will be required at all chosen target areas.
Must have capabilities to provide radar data for the full flight path,
breech, down bore, Image Motion Compensation, and down range camera
coverage. Provide support in the design, fabrication, and testing of
reactive fragments and reactive fragment warheads. Must have
capabilities of compressing such materials as aluminum and Teflon
powder together and installing into explosive fragments. Perform tests
with light gas gun equipped with a sobot separation/gas expansion
chamber and separate target chamber. Perform tests that accelerate the
projectile to velocities greater than 15,000 feet per second. Perform
penetration phenomenology or target vulnerability tests with light gas
gun firing projectiles/fragments at explosive filled targets and bare
charges containing up to 200 pounds of explosive per test. Provide
complete test instrumentation required for data acquisition including
but not limited to: Flash x-ray up to 1 Meg, Doppler RADAR
capabilities, high speed camera coverage which must include 16mm HYCAM
and both 16mm and 35mm FASTAX with a capability of up to 40,000
FF/sec, ultra-high speed camera coverage with a capability of up to 14
million frames/sec, documentary photographs with digital capability
and video cameras with recorders, oscilloscopes with digitizing
capability, pressure-time diagnostics for the near and far field
utilizing both piezo-electric data sensors, temperature-time, 16
channel magnetic recorders, and Image Motion Compensation photographic
coverage for both gun-launched and explosive launched fragments and
projectiles. Provide complete machine shop services. Provide storage
for up to 500,000 pounds of High Explosives and propellants. Storage
must be approved for Categories 1 4 of Sensitive Arms, ammunition, and
explosives. Perform detonation testing for up to 20,000 pounds of high
explosive in one test. Perform tests using sled track. Possess
Radioactive Material License for testing of depleted uranium and BATF
license. Have DOD SECRET clearance for x-ray and high-speed film,
SECRET for Machine Shop, DOD SECRET for storage and TOP SECRET and
Critical Nuclear Weapon Design Information clearances. Interested
offerors shall respond by 7 December 1998 to Contracting Officer, Attn:
