- Description
- This synopsis is being posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website located at http://www.fbo.gov, the Navy Electronic Commerce on Line (NECO) website located at https://www.neco.navy.mil/, and the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, Acquisition website located at http://www.navsea.navy.mil/nswc/crane/working/contracting. FBO is the primary point of entry to be used when access to synopses and solicitations from the World Wide Web is required. However, the NECO webpage as well as the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, Acquisition webpage serve as alternatives if the FBO website is unavailable. This is a Request for Information (RFI) announcement for market research purposes only, to be used for preliminary planning purposes. No proposals are being requested or accepted with this synopsis. The purpose of this RFI is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities and qualifications of vendors. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT SHALL BE AWARDED FROM THIS RFI. REQUEST FOR INFORMATION: The Government is issuing this Request for Information announcement as part of a market survey for an enhanced blast (EBX), main charge explosive that has at least 130% of the performance of an equivalent volume of explosive PBXN-109. The performance characteristic of interest is peak transient specific impulse . For these purposes, peak transient specific impulse is defined as the area under the first positive pulse of the pressure time curve. It is also the first peak in the impulse curve. The evaluation of performance will be based on measured total impulse observed on Kulite XT 190 pressure gauges (or similar) in a non-responding internal blast test structure. Candidate explosives shall have the following general characteristics. 1)The material shall have the potential to be DoD / Navy explosive qualified. 2)The material shall have a reasonable booster requirement. Reasonable is approximately defined as a Large Scale Gap Test result between 150 and 200 cards (data not required). 3)The material shall have a critical thickness of less than 0.3 in (data not required). 4)The material shall be compatible with common plastics and adhesives (data not required). Interested sources should provide a White Paper in response to this announcement. The White Paper shall consist of the following details for each candidate formulation: 1)The explosive formulation, including particle class information. 2)The theoretical maximum density (TMD). 3)The estimated production density. 4)An estimated production cost. 5)A performance estimate and documentation supporting the estimate. 6)A Cheetah model or the information necessary to add the formulation to the Cheetah component library. Cheetah 6.0 will be used for the Government model. Cheetah can be obtained from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Suggest sending inquires concerning Cheetah to cheetah@llnl.gov. 7)Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) (if available) 8)Department of Transportation (DoT) letter of Competent Authority (CA) (if available) 9)Interim Hazard Classification (IHC) (if available) 10)UN Test Series 3 data (if available) The respondent must be able to demonstrate the ability to obtain those resources in a timely fashion. Interested organizations possessing the necessary capabilities should also provide the following business information: 1)Point of Contact to include address, telephone and fax numbers and email address 2)DUNS number 3)Cage Code 4)Small Business size status if applicable 5)Brief summary of the company's capabilities, description of facilities, personnel, related manufacturing experience, and existing safety approvals. 6)Any supporting information such as commercial literature, catalogues, manuals, etc. 7)If a contractor utilizes the services of sub-tier vendors or subcontractors, provide supporting information.
