The Naval Oceanographic Office requests responses from qualified sources capable of providing Composite Tubes meeting specifications: Introduction: The Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO), Ocean Sensors Branch collects ambient noise to support navy-wide Ocean modeling databases. Code N912 uses ambient noise acoustical buoys to collect in-situ data in support of this tasking. These tubes shall be used in the MARS (Mobile Acoustic Recording System) under extreme conditions for extended periods of time. Objective: The objective of this SOW is to procure three (3) full length tubes and one short test tube and describes the requirements the contractor shall meet to successfully execute this contract. Scope: To acquire one fully assembled short test tube section and three fully assembled full length tubes. The tubes shall be used in conjunction with other MARS assemblies for various missions. General Information: The contractor shall fabricate, machine, and assemble one short test tube section and three full length tubes for review and inspection by N912 engineers. The Naval Oceanographic Office shall provide the necessary drawings for the vendor to fabricate, machine, and assemble the carbon fiber tube ribs, anodized aluminum end rings, and carbon fiber tubes. Government Furnished Documentation: The Naval Oceanographic Office shall supply the following drawings to the contractor: (see attachments) 1. EA-ME-0940-14 Rev. B CARBON FIBER TUBE RIB 2. EA-ME-0941-14 Rev. B Anodized Aluminum End Ring 3. EA-ME-0942-14 Rev. B Carbon Fiber Tube 4. EA-ME-0943-14 Rev. B COMPOSITE TUBE ASSEMBLY 5. EA-ME-1000-14 Rev. - SHORT COMPOSITE TUBE ASSEMBLY SECTION Requirements: The vendor must at a minimum meet the following certifications: ISO9001:2008 and AS9100C.

The vendor shall use the braiding technique in the construction and manufacture of the composite tubes. The composite material shall be IM7 or better. The following specifications shall be followed: maximum ply density shall not exceed 0.055 lb/cu-in, minimum compressive strength shall not be less than 70 ksi, and the total weight of a full length tube shall not exceed 7 pounds. The vendor shall provide machine custom tooling for fabrication and assembly of the ribs, test tube section, and the full length tubes. The epoxy and carbon fiber used in these assemblies are given on the mechanical drawings: EA-ME-0940-14 Rev B and EA-ME-0942-14 Rev B. The vendor shall use Resin Transfer Molding Process (RTM) to fill the fabric with epoxy. The vendor shall cure the composite pieces according to supplier guidelines. The vendor shall sand the outer layer of the carbon fiber tube smooth and add a thin coat of epoxy to seal the carbon fiber and give the tube a smooth outer surface. The vendor shall use the dimensions in the attached drawings (EA-ME-0942-14 Rev B), after sanding and other finishing work. The vendor shall prepare the inside ends of the tubes for the anodized aluminum end rings to be firmly glued in. The vendor shall glue the anodized aluminum end rings in the proper clocking orientation with an aerospace grade adhesive or comparable bonding agent. The vendor shall supply one test tube section and three full length tubes. The Government will inspect and accept the short test tube section prior to delivery of the three full length tubes. Testing the short section first allows for changes to be made to the full length tubes before they are fully manufactured. If the short tube is unacceptable due to a design problem, the government shall provide the contractor written comments. The government shall make any necessary design changes and if deemed necessary order another short test tube. All changes shall be approved by the Contracting Officer (CO).
