- Description
- This Request for Information (RFI) is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a Request for Proposal. This request for information shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to award a contract. The Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) Lakehurst, NJ seeks to identify potential sources for the manufacture of Ultrasonic Inspection Standards Sets which include Advanced Composite Material Reference Blocks. The Reference Blocks are used in conjunction with Common Navy Test Equipment for inspection bond integrity of aircraft structures (honeycomb or bonded composites). The objective of this RFI is to determine if there are vendors with the capability of meeting the requirement as described below. Background This will be a build to print effort that includes the manufacture of various composite material reference blocks which are packaged as a set in a transit case. Each reference block has unique design, shape, materials and processing requirements. Manufacturing of the reference blocks will be in accordance with 2D drawings and a separate Fabrication Inspection Acceptance Procedure (FAIP). The FIAP includes details on individual processes, intermediate inspections and acceptance criteria required to build up each Reference Block. The Government is aware that setup fixtures will need to be constructed for this manufacturing effort. It will be the responsibility of the contractor to design and manufacture any fixtures. The Government does not possess these fixtures or any data related to their manufacture. There are two unique Ultrasonic Inspection Standards Sets which will be included in the effort. These sets respectively contain 5 and 6 Reference Blocks. For planning purposes the anticipated procurement quantities for each Ultrasonic Inspection Standards Set is 4 and 16. The drawing package related to this RFI contains Technical Data subject to Export Control Laws. The drawing package will be NOT available for this item at this time. Please include with your response a certified copy of the DD Form 2345, Military Critical Technical Data Agreement. For DD Form 2345 information, call DLIS in Battle Creek, MI at 1-800-352-3572, or visit the Internet at http://www/dlis.dla.mil/jcp. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes. This posting does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This request for information does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. The Government WILL NOT PAY for any information received in response to this request for information nor will the Government compensate the respondent for any cost incurred in developing the information for the Government. Any request for copies of solicitations or the drawing package will not be addressed since this is a request for information, not a request for proposal. Respondents are notified that a formal solicitation may not necessarily result from the RFI. Availability of any formal solicitation may be announced under a separate Federal Business Opportunities announcement.
