A -- Rapid Airfield Field Damage Repair

This announcement constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC) under FAR 6.102(d)(2). The Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC) in Port Hueneme, CA has initiated a project to develop a two part expanding foam injection capability to be used for the stabilization of fill materials in Rapid Airfield Field Damage Repair. NFESC has partnered with the US Army Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, MS to perform testing of foam stabilized repairs. NFESC is seeking technical support for the development of an injectable foam runway base stabilization system. Items to be developed include the foam, the foam pumping and injection system, and foam injection technique. The project will involve the evaluation of pump pressures, foam expansion pressures, injection spacing, and the ability of foam to penetrate and stabilize different soil types in various wet, dry, hot and cold environments. A performance specification for the foam and foam injection system will be developed, as well as procedures for using the system. The system will be tested in simulated runway craters at the ERDC in Vicksburg. The contractor must be onsite to assist with system operation and data collection during the tests. Interested parties should prepare a short abstract describing their foam injection technology and experience. The abstract must include the following information only.
