- Description
- Crash Test Dummy Study for Correlating Anthropomorhic Test Device (ATD) Impacts with Human Injury This is not a solicitation announcement. This is a sources sought. This sources sought synopsis is for information and planning purposes and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government nor will the Government pay for information solicited. Since this is a sources sought announcement, no evaluation letters and/or results will be issued to the respondents. The Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC), Program Manager for the Joint Program Office (JPO) - Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Vehicle has a requirement to procure a blast correlation study. The objective of our project is to compare the response of a Hybrid III/Thor ATD to the response of a Post Mortem Human Subject (PMHS) in a blast scenario. These comparable data sets (often referred to as "matched pair testing") will then be used to assess the ability of the ATD to predict human injury risk in this loading scenario. Further research efforts should be focused on the areas where the ATD is failing to accurately predict the human injury risk. The Period of Performance for this project is to be no greater than 12 months. The matched pair testing will be done in a laboratory setting designed to mimic the occupant effects from the full vehicle underbody blast testing conducted on MRAP vehicles. Objectives: (1) The development of a test buck capable of reproducing the toe-pan and seat-pan accelerations seen in under-vehicular blasts; (2) Instrumented hybrid-III/Thor forces/accelerations and dummy kinematics from under-vehicular loads; (3) Instrumented PMHS forces/accelerations, kinematics, and resulting injuries from under-vehicular loads (4) Comparison of measured forces and accelerations to existing injury criteria for future design application. (5) Deliverables are to include, but not limited to, sensor data, high speed video/still photography, kinematic data, necropsy reports, correlation data, periodic and final project reports. It is anticipated the the United States Marine Corps, JPO MRAP will conduct an open solictation based on the results of this sources sought. Interested sources, both firms and educational institutions, may identify their interest and capability to meet the requirements by submitting a white paper, literature, technical data, brochures, and capabilities summaries directly addressing their ability to meet aforementioned needs. Response not to exceed five (5) pages in length. Firms are to state their business size and NAICS Code. All interested parties need to identify a point of contact including, name, email, and phone number. Please forward information to Contract Specialist Fred Cartes, at frederick.cartes@usmc.mil, 50 Tech Parkway, Stafford VA 22556. Suite 203, Rm 209; or Contracting Officer Richard Augsburger. If you have further questions please call 1-540-658-8469 or 334-237-4875.
