Acoustic Testing for the IM-272A/WDQ Air Particle Detector and isolation valves

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is soliciting quotes for a small business set-aside contract under NAICS 541330 to provide specialized testing for IM-272A/WDQ Air Particle Detector (APD) units, isolation valves, and controllers. The primary requirement consists of implementing acoustic dampening measures on two APD units to reduce their sound profile without affecting form, fit, or function, followed by airborne and structure-borne noise testing and the testing of four government-furnished pumps. Additionally, the solicitation includes an option for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electrical interface testing for two APD units using government-provided isolation valve controllers and automatic isolation valves. The contract is a firm-fixed-price arrangement with a performance period of one year following the award, with a designated delivery window from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027. Performance will occur at the contractor's facility, with final inspection and acceptance taking place at the NSWC Carderock Division in Bethesda, Maryland. Key deliverables include detailed test reports per CDRL A001 and monthly government-furnished equipment status reports per CDRL B001. Award will be based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) quotation, provided the offeror is rated acceptable for technical capability. Due to the nature of the work, certain noise requirements are classified as confidential, and contractors must adhere to strict packaging standards per MIL-PRF-23199 and cybersecurity requirements under DFARS 252.204-7012.
