- Description
- The Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) seeks qualified vendors to provide advanced products in operational quantities. Please be aware that these requirements are covered by multiple classification codes (FSC's). The information is needed to resolve concerns regarding the acquisition strategy, including proposed contract type, terms and conditions, and acquisition planning schedules. We are particularly interested in determining the feasibility of competing this requirement in the small business community. Specific products that may be acquired include: electronic components and systems, mechanical components and systems, energetic materials and components, chemical materials and components, assembly, plating/painting/finishing, packing and shipping. Requirements may include the following: Electronic components and systems - Products that consist of printed circuit boards (multi-layer, single and double sided printed wiring boards) of varying size and complexity. Mixed component technologies (surface mount and through hole) may be employed. Software and component programming are possible elements of the individual products, as are cables and other electronic connector systems. Sub-components may be Government furnished or acquired/produced by the Contractor. Mechanical components and systems - Products that consist of engineered structures of varying materials and configurations. These products will be fabricat ed by a variety of process methods, including machining, welding, heat treatment, casting, forging, forming, injection molding, filament winding, resin transfer molding, and spin forming (not a complete list). Sub-components may be Government furnished or acquired/produced by the Contractor. Energetic materials and components - Products that consist of explosive or propellant materials, including rocket motors, warheads, gas generators, fuzes, and safe/arm devices are examples of such products. Energetic materials may require casting, extruding, pressing, or injection molding processes to form and integration with mechanical sub-components. Sub-components may be Government furnished or acquired/produced by the Contractor. Chemical materials and components - Products that consist of materials that use chemical reaction to provide useful physical and chemical properties. Batteries and coatings are examples of such products. Sub-components may be Government furnished or acquired/produced by the Contractor. Assembly - Products that consis t of manufactured components (mechanical, electronic, optical, energetic, or chemical) that require assembly to meet individual requirements. These components may be Government furnished or acquired/produced by the Contractor depending on the individual requirements. Plating/painting/finishing - Most products will require surface treatment, both for individual components and the completed item as an assembly. Deposition of metallic plating will include cadmium, chromium, nickel, gold, and copper. Painting systems will include sprayed or powder coated epoxy materials. Finishing will include conversion coating, anodizing, and passivating. Surface treated components may be Government furnished or acquired/produced by the Contractor depending on the individual requirement. Packing and shipping - Products will be required to be appropriately packaged and shipped to a defined address; possibly NAWCWD, but potentially direct to the NAWCWD customers. Sample products that are representative of those that might be acquired include: Transmitter Telemetry System (704AS5174) - quantity of 50; Accelerator, Electrical Linear (704AS9429) - quantity of 50; Sensor, Temperature Resistive (704AS9429) - quantity of 50; Connector, Plug, Electrical (74AS9375) - quantity of 50; Wiring Harness, Branched, Warhead (704AS5221) - quantity of 50; and Cargo, Door Handle Assembly (8004475B) - quantity of 100. Copies of drawing can be obtained (free of charge) from the POC provided below. These requirements are currently not being performed or are being performed by NAWCWD. The estimated annual expenditures for this effort is $20,000,000, although the actual amounts may be considerably lower. If a contract is awarded for this effort, the Government anticipates awarding one or more indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) delivery order type contracts with a three year period of performance.
