- Description
- SUPPORT FOR A SERVICE LIFE EVALUATION OF THE AGM-65 SR109 MAVERICK MISSILE ROCKET MOTOR This announcement constitutes a Sources Sought Synopsis. It is intended as a method of informing potential contractors of the existence of a Bid Qualification Plan for an Age Identification Study of the AGM-65 SR109 Maverick Missile Rocket Motor, including a formal report to the Government. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor is it to be construed as a commitment by the government. The USAF is seeking potential contractors to support an AGM-65 Maverick Missile Aging Identification Study for SR109 (NSN: 1337-00-232-4187) Rocket Motors. The purpose of this contract is to support a Service Life Evaluation of the AGM-65 SR109 Maverick Rocket Motor. The AGM-65 Maverick Missile is a unique and aging weapon system requiring periodic testing to preclude catastrophic failure. The energetic missile components require periodic testing to identify aging trends and possible deterioration or instability of energetic materials. In completing this study, mechanical and chemical testing techniques will be applied to dissected rocket motors with predetermined age factors to predict probability of rocket motor failure. Results will be analyzed, service life quantified, updated, and a written report will be provided to the Government for analysis in establishing/verifying SR109 Service Life Estimate (SLE). A Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract for the SR109 Rocket Motor Age Identification Study is being contemplated. Interested offerors should respond to this synopsis within 15 days following the publication of this notice. Responses must clearly demonstrate the qualifications, capability and expertise of the vendor. Responses to this notice will be used as part of the market research that will be used to develop the acquisition strategy to satisfy this potential requirement.

Respondents are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this sources sought. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this notice or any follow-up information requested. This sources sought is directed only to those vendors who believe that they would be capable of supporting this potential requirement.
