Description
The Government is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) as part of market research for Real-Time Radiography (RTR) instrumentation during a solid rocket motor static firing at the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD), China Lake, California.
ALL qualified businesses are encouraged to respond.
The anticipated NAICS Code for this procurement is 541380. The Product Service Code is anticipated to be 6635.
Description: NAWCWD Code D551000 is seeking information on capabilities to capture video or near standard video rate Real-Time Radiography images of a solid rocket motor during static firing at NAWCWD, China Lake.
Background: NAWCWD routinely conducts static firings of solid rocket motors at China Lake. There is interest in applying Real-Time Radiographic (RTR) techniques to assess solid rocket motor propellant grain recession, insulation erosion, nozzle erosion, and aluminum/aluminum oxide residue (a.k.a, slag) agglomeration.
Period of Performance (Estimated): July 1, 2023 - July 1, 2024
Limitations: Must be capable of capturing and processing Confidential information, at minimum (Secret preferred).
Security Requirements: Possess DD254 and capability to record and process Confidential (THR)/Secret (OBJ) information.
Summary: NAWCWD-s intent is to obtain information for the potential procurement of services to provide Real-Time Radiography instrumentation during solid rocket motor static firings of rocket motors between 7” DIA and 24” DIA and 100” or more in length. The solid rocket motors are can be encased in metallic or composite motor cases and are filled with a rubberized solid propellant and insulation system. The rubber solid propellant is loaded with a solid oxidizer and often with 18% to 20% powdered aluminum for added performance. NAWCWD is interested in capturing and recording solid rocket combustion chamber start-up, burn back and tail-off conditions....
