- Description
- For the purposes of this Request for Information (RFI), this requirement is temporarily designated as 'ASTROS II.' The Government advises interested parties to track this requirement via the SAM.gov Notice ID, as the official program name is subject to change prior to the issuance of a formal solicitation. AFRL/RQ-West is conducting market research to provide follow-on capability to evaluate, design, construct, reconfigure, modify experimental research test facilities and systems, perform research and development test operations and test operation support, maintain special test equipment and support infrastructure as required. The tasks associated with this requirement, also captured in paragraph 4 of the attached Draft PWS, demand specialized knowledge of all aspects of rocket propulsion testing. The scale of testing ranges from small bench-scale liquid engine components and tactical motors to launch booster-class engines and strategic rocket motors. Practical knowledge regarding all intermediate devices including combined cycle designs, spacecraft propulsion, and space and missile propulsion system component testing will also be required. These tasks require a holistic working knowledge of the systems to ensure successful design, buildup, test and data collection of integrated advanced propulsion systems and their associated facilities to include, but not limited to steam and mechanical-driven altitude facilities, thrust measurement systems, instrumentation and control systems, facility deluge and fire retardation systems, special test equipment, additional support infrastructure other than real property, and real property as approved by Edward's AFB Civil Engineering. The contractor shall design, build, modify, activate, operate, and deactivate fuel and oxidizer propellant systems for toxic, storable, hypergolic, cryogenic, high pressure, explosives, and hydrocarbon propellant system assets. In addition, the contractor shall handle, transport and store these propellants and explosives.
