- SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS FOR Flotation Equipment Deployment System (FEDS) Retractor Pressure Cartridge Shielded Mild Detonating Cord (SMDC) Line Ship Sets C-17 Cargo Aircraft Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, OO-ALC/GHGKB PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION This is a Source Sought Synopsis announcement, market research for information only, to be used for preliminary planning purposes. This market research is being conducted to identify potential sources possessing the engineering and manufacturing knowledge for the FEDS, Retractor Pressure Cartridge, and SMDC Line Ship Sets. The FEDS consist of two forward and two aft panel assemblies used on the C-17 Aircraft. The panel assemblies consist of linear charge assemblies (LCA) and are functioned when an explosive signal is transferred from any one of the aircraft arm/fire initiators to the panel assembly via Shielded Mild Detonating Cord (SMDC). The LCA's detonate, producing a jet penetration cutting action of the aircraft skin/longerons providing hatches for life raft deployment and aircrew escape. The retractor pressure cartridge consists of a cylindrical housing containing gas-producing propellant. A 7/16-inch SMDC input port is located on one end and a ¾-inch threaded gas output port/fitting is on the other end. The cartridge is installed in a retractor assembly used for emergency life raft deployment on the C-17 aircraft. It is functioned by energy from an SMDC input. No proposal is requested or accepted from synopsis. This is not a solicitation for proposal and no contract shall be awarded from this synopsis.
