- Description
- The Naval Research Laboratory has a need for a nominal 67 HP, 300 VDC submersible motor system consisting of a hydrostatic pressure compensated motor, controller/drive electronics, pressure housing to contain the drive electronics, and hydrostatic pressure tolerant cabling. It is required that the motor drive controller be enclosed in a pressure vessel capable of withstanding hydrostatic pressure ranging from 14 psia to 682 psia. All other equipment, external to the controller/drive electronics pressure housing, shall be capable of operating while withstanding hydrostatic pressure of 14 psia up to 10,014 psia. Electrical connections for power, feedback, and communication\control signals will be provided through appropriate SEACON connectors mounted on the waist of the pressure vessel. Other critical features include its efficiency at low and high power and its weight. The nominal voltage of the system is 300 V. The motor system will employ conductive cooling through the pressure vessel housing to ambient surrounding water. The volume of surrounding water will not have active flow around the pressure housing(s) of the motor or controller. The motor system will be capable of quiet operation and operating at or below the acoustic levels defined in the RFP. Standard MIL-SPECs will be applied for shock, EMI, environmental conditions, etc. Complete technical specifications, quality assurance standards, and contract data requirements will be available as part of this solicitation. Specifications are export controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). As such, to receive the referenced specifications, potential offerors will be required to submit a completed certification with proof of status as a U.S. person (as defined in 22 C.F.R. Part 120.15). Upon confirmation of eligibility, potential offerors will be sent a copy of the specifications. The specifications must be safeguarded and protected from unauthorized disclosure in accordance with applicable U.S. export control laws and regulations. Based on a survey of the market, the government has determined that the services to be acquired do not meet the definition of a commercial item. Therefore, the government does not intend to use the procedures as outlined in FAR Part 12 for this acquisition. NRL uses electronic commerce (EC) to issue requests for proposals (RFPs) and amendments to RFPs. Paper copies of the RFP will not be provided. The actual closing date for proposals will be stated in the solicitation when issued. This solicitation and any amendments to it will be available via the internet starting approximately thirty (30) days after publication of this announcement at the URL provided below. All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. Other business opportunities for NRL are available at our website http://heron.nrl.navy.mil/contracts/rfplist.htm.
