Description

SOURCES are SOUGHT in Research and Development to provide pre- and post-test modeling and simulation using a proprietary version of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code MAZe for the unique Warhead Performance Measurement for Bio-Agent Defeat (WPM BAD) test series. Titan Research & Technology (Titan) (POC: Phil Hookham, 818-700-4423) is thought to be uniquely capable of performing this task. In the early planning/design stages of the WPM BAD test series, under a previous contract, Titan used their proprietary version of MAZe to help design the sub-scale target. Some of this initial work included determining pressure and temperature profiles of the simulated target and determining the amount of agent vented from the target. This effort involves performing similar tasks at a higher level of accuracy. Titan is thought to be the only source capable of producing the customized calculations that are required for the WPM BAD test series. Further, although there are other firms that could use MAZe, it is not expected that they would have access to the proprietary version used by Titan. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Titan sole source. However, all responsible sources may submit a qualification package that will be considered by the agency. Interested firms should submit their experience and qualifications in the following area: Working with Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) using Titan proprietary version of MAZe to design sub-scale targets, to include producing customized calculations required to determine with a high level of accuracy pressure and temperature profiles of the simulated target and to determine with great accuracy the amount of agent vented from the target. Submit package to: AFRL/MNK, 101 W. Eglin Blvd, Suite 337, Eglin AFB FL 32542-6810, Attn: Carol Abbott. Responses to this synopsis must be received within 14 days from date of synopsis publication.
