A -- SURVIVABILITY ENGINE CONTROL ALGORITHM SOL N68936-99-R-0054 DUE 031599 POC Shaleen Lambert, Contract Specialist, (760) 939-7652 The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), China Lake, CA intends to solicit, on an other-than-full-competition basis, with General Electric Aircraft Engine Co. (GEAE), 1 Newman Way, Cincinnati, OH 45215-6301. This requirement is divided into three phases. Phase I, contract number N68936-98-C-0226, was awarded on 17 Set 98, with a period of performance ending on 31 Jan 99. Phase I included the preliminary study of damage types to be simulated and the selection of the F414 simulation model. This requirement is for Phase II and Phase III. Phase II includes damage algorithm development and Phase III will include test plan development and survivability algorithm validation testing. Specific tasks include: (1) developing algorithms describing the effects of combat damage on the F414 engine performance; (2) incorporating these algorithms into dynamic computer models of the F414; and (3) once the damaged engine performance is proved acceptable, provide test plan development and survivability algorithm validation testing on a F414 engine test with simulated or real combat damage. Negotiations will be conducted solely with GEAE. GEAE is the only known firm with the knowledge, experience and technical data required to meet the needs of the government. The solicitation will call for a contract to be completed in two phases. Phase II will be the base period. The anticipated period of performance for Phase II is from date of award through 30 Sep 99. Phase III (Option 1) period of performance is from 1 Oct 99 through 30 Sep 00. The anticipated award date of the base period is 3 May 99. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency. For more information contact Shaleen Lambert, Contract Specialist, NAWCWD, China Lake (760) 939-7652.
