22191-1215 25 -- LIGHTWEIGHT, DURABLE, CORROSION RESISTANT IDLER-WHEEL FOR THE
AAAV DUE 030999 POC Mr. David C. Christy, (703) 492-3351 MARKET
RESEARCH: The Direct Reporting Program Manager (DRPM) for the U.S.
Marine Corps Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAAV) is conducting
market research to determine the commercial availability of a
lightweight, durable, corrosion resistant idler-wheel for the AAAV. The
Marine Corps wants to purchase a sufficient number of wheels (including
tread) to carry out validation testing. The idler-wheel must be
available by 1 March 2000 in order to conduct testing prior to
selection. The idler-wheel must interface with the Bradley AFV idler
hub and should weigh no more than 45 lbs with an average life of 6000
miles and full production procurement costs should be comparable to
current lightweight aluminum idler-wheels now in service with the Army
and Marine Corps. The idler-wheel must have an integral wear ring
capable of withstanding track impact and abrasion loads. The
idler-wheel must be capable of withstanding the extreme marine
environment as well as the high structural loads occurring during
routine operation of a 76,000 lb tracked vehicle. Additional
information is available on the AAAV web page
(http://www.aaav.hqi.usmc.mil) or can be requested through email to the
following address: aeng@notes.hqi.usmc.mil. The AAAV point of contact
is Mr. David Christy (703) 492-3351. The closing date for this request
is 9 March 1999. Companies with existing idler-wheels or currently
developing idler-wheels that would meet or exceed the above
requirements should provide design characteristics and performance data
to: DIRECT REPORTING PROGRAM MANAGER, AAAV, ATTN: Mr. William S. Story,
