66 -- THE NAVAL AIR WARFARE CENTER AIRCRAFT DIVISION INTENDS TO PROCURE BASE ON FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION, AN ULTRASONIC WORKSTATION. SOL N000421-98-R-1110 POC Ms. Christine Marshall, Contract Specialist, (301) 342-1825, extension 105 Mr. William Aumand, Contracting Officer, (301) 342-1825, extension 149 E-MAIL: Marshall_Christine%PAX9B@MR.NAWCAD.NAVY.MIL, Marshall_Christine%PAX9B@MR.NAWCAD.NAVY.MIL. 17. The Metals, Ceramics and NDE Branch (Code 4.3.3) of the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division intends to procure based on full and open competition, an ultrasonic workstation capable of performing pulse-echo immersion A-, B- and C-Scans on a wide range of polymer matrix composites and metallic structures. It must be capable of imaging and analyzing the data. The workstation must be automated in a manner to collect and render without an operator present. This system must provide turnkey installation, on-site training, and a standard industrial warranty. The materials of interest may consist of multiple bonded layers and different materials with complex curvatures. A typical application includes high resolution B- and C- scan imaging of a composite repair on a composite laminate to detect and quantify the depth, size and type of discontinuity in the repaired structure. The system must be able to perform automatic date collection requiring automatic control of x, y z, and two angular axes plus turntable control. The system must be capable of following complex geometries and have a minimum scanning envelope of 3'x5'x2'. Additionally, system must be 100% compatible with existing Ultra Image IV hardware and software. The software must be capable of processing A, B and C-scan data collected with our other Ultra Image IV units. The system must be capable of utilizing existing Ultra Image IV hardware for replacement of hardware components and for expansion of the system to include additional channels and degrees of motion. The existing replacement/expansion hardware includes Ultra Image motion control modules LS-100C-021 (x/y), LS-100C-032 (z), and LS-100C-061 (angular manipulator). It also includes the LS-100U-010 programmable receiver board, the LS-100U-021 RPP1 pulser preamplifier, and the LS-100U-012 expansion interface. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code for this effort is 3826 which has a size of 500 employees. ALL PROSPECTIVE OFFERS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO USE THE INTERNET TO RESPOND.
