This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 12.6 for commercial items as supplemented with additional information included in the notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as a Request for Quote. Solicitation number F05611-99-Q1523. This solicitation document and incorporated provision and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-11. The Standard Industrial Classification Number is 8731 and the business Size Standard is 500 employees. Offerors must comply with all instructions contained in provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offers-Commercial Items. The proposed contract action listed here is approved sole source for Terrence Simon, Minneapolis, MN 55455. Firm Fixed Price. Description: Produce research measurements in a low-pressure turbine environment as simulated in the Cascade Wind Tunnel in the USAF Academy Department of Aeronautics Laboratory. Contractor will deliver Gas Turbine Airflow and Heat Transfer Research Measurements in the Low Pressure Turbine Environment. Researchers within this laboratory are currently studying the effects of elevated approach flow disturbance levels on gas turbine airflow; transition from laminar flow to turbulence, separation of the boundary layer, and heat transfer. The additional measurements that will be provided by this effort will greatly increase the body of critical knowledge that is needed by jet engine design engineers and will provide direct support to long-range, mission-essential research objectives of the Air Force Research Lab/Propulsion Directorate. The period of performance is from 14 JUN 1999 through 3 SEP1999. The contractor shall perform boundary layer profile measurements of velocity, turbulence intensity level, turbulence length scale, and intermittence at an existing Reynolds number, free stream turbulence level, andintermittence condition. Repeat boundary layer profile measurements of velocity, turbulence intensity level, turbulence length scale, and intermittence at a different Reynolds number, free stream turbulence level, and intermittence condition. Contractor shall perform analysis of data and evaluation of transition and separation models. Contractor will evaluate techniques for influencing transition such as selected roughness and boundary layer blowing or suction. Deliverables: a final report that contains tables and figures presenting the measurement results listed above. The report will also include the data analysis and interpretation of the results. The final report will be delivered on or before 30 SEP 99. The contractor shall not be required to be available on days recognized on base as federal holidays, on other similar "down" days or on days when he is not required to hold office hours in accordance above.
