AI Contract Overview
The Department of the Air Force is seeking a firm-fixed-price contract for a comprehensive engineering assessment of nineteen high-pressure gaseous nitrogen storage vessels, known as the Bottle Field, located at the Arnold Engineering Development Complex Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel 9 in White Oak, Maryland. The objective is to determine the safe operating conditions of the facility through a five-part process including data collection, Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) plan development and execution, Finite Element Analysis (FEA), and a Minimum Design Metal Temperature evaluation. All engineering analysis must strictly adhere to API 579 / ASME FFS-1 standards for pressure vessels operating at or above 10,000 psig. The period of performance extends through December 31, 2026, with deliverables including a summary of design operation review, a finalized NDE plan, and raw NDE data reports. Award will be based on a best-value tradeoff, where technical capability and corporate experience are significantly more important than price. Specifically, the government requires a Lead Assessment Engineer with a PE license and a Lead NDE Technician with ASNT NDT Level III certifications; failure to demonstrate capability with systems operating at or above 10,000 psig will result in technical unacceptability. The solicitation is unrestricted, though a 10 percent price evaluation preference is available for certified HUBZone small business concerns. Quotes must be submitted electronically to the contracting officer by September 8, 2026, and must include administrative data, proof of SAM.gov registration, and detailed technical and pricing sections. Payment will be processed through the Wide Area WorkFlow system.
