E-MAIL: Capt. Todd Joyner, joyner@eglin.af.mil. A purchase order for a sole source procurement, via the authority granted by FAR 6.302-1, is planned to be provided to Southwest Research Institute as described by Numbered Note 22. Southwest Research Institute is the only known qualified source available to perform this task. The Air Force Research Laboratory Munitions Directorate (AFRL/MN) requires the selected contractor to conduct probabilistic sensitivity analysis of the Holmquist-Johnson-Cook material model parameters on the computed penetration depth and maximum penetrator loading. The penetration calculations shall be performed using the EPIC computer program installed on contractor computers. The government will supply a working EPIC input deck and data for characterizing the random variables. The contractor will interface the NESSUS probabilistic computer program with EPIC, characterize the model input parameters, and perform a probabilistic sensitivity analysis. Routine questions concerning this acquisition should be directed to the following individuals: Direct technical information inquiries to Dr Kenneth B. Milligan, AFRL/MNAC, Eglin AFB FL 32542-6810, via e-mail: Millig@eglin.af.mil via phone: (850) 882-4651x3358. For contractual inquiries, contact Capt Todd Joyner, Contracts Manager, AFRL/MNK, 101 W.
