- Description
- TACOM intends to negotiatie on a Sole Source basis, as a supplemental agreement, the continued design and development of its Turbo Fuel Cell Engine. This effort builds on PEEI's prior work devloping the SOFC technology, materila and prosesses. Under this effort, the contractor shall assemble, test, demonstrate, computer model, and validate through testing, a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) stack made with three or four bundles of thirty six SOFC tubes each. Tubes within the bundles shall be electrically connected in series-parallel, and the bundles shall be connected in electrical series. The total stack output shall be 3-6 kilowatts when operated at atmospheric pressure. The stack shall have common distribution systems for intake air (cathode supply), anode gases (fuel) and exhaust gases, designed to permit the later integration of turbo charging with the multi-bundle system, enabling it to operate at up to three atmospheres pressure and in conjunction with turbo-compounding to recover energy from exhaust gases. TACOM-Warren will negotiate on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 6-302.1 with Pittsburgh Electric Engines, Inc. (PEEI), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for this effort. This will result in a cost-plus-fixed-fee modification to the existing contract. The target award date is 30 Apr 2009.
