Advanced Respiratory System Design & Engineering

The contract involves the design and engineering of an advanced pressurized breathing system capable of withstanding and maintaining a secure seal under extreme acceleration forces of +9Gz, with pressure requirements up to 60 mm Hg. Key components of the scope include conducting computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis to optimize system performance, selecting appropriate materials to ensure durability and reliability, and integrating the breathing system with existing regulator and hose mechanisms. The project aims to develop a robust respiratory solution suitable for demanding operational environments. Issued by the Department of Defense through the W6QK Acc-apg Natick office, this subcontract opportunity falls under the NAICS code 541330, which relates to engineering services. The work will be performed in Natick, with a response deadline set for June 5, 2026. This initiative supports enhanced safety and functionality for personnel operating in high-G environments, emphasizing both technical innovation and practical application within military or defense contexts.
