High fidelity characterization and computational analysis of energetic materials

Title: High fidelity characterization and computational analysis of energetic materials FSC Code: AJ12 Procurement Type:Synopsis for sole source requirement NAICS Code: 541712 The proposed contract action is for High fidelity characterization and computational analysis of energetic materials for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302. Interested persons may identify their capability to meet the requirement in its entirety by submitting a proposal. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all information received within fifteen days after date of publication (30 August 2016) of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. The contract will consist of one year (365 days from date of award) and four option periods (365 days per option period). A determination not to compete this proposed requirement is based upon responses to this notice and is solely within the discretion of the Government. Responses will be considered for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The Government intends to make a sole source award to Combustion Research and Flow Technology Inc. (CRAFT), 6210 Kellers Church Rd, Pipersville, PA 18947. CRAFT Inc. has developed and maintains proprietary High-Fidelity Modeling and Simulation capabilities which meet or exceed NSWC IHEODTD's requirements in the fields of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), multi-phase combustion, turbulence, shock physics, explosions and detonations, plume phenomenology, radiation transport, high performance computing (HPC), etc. The Contractor shall utilize the experience of a senior cadre with expertise in both state-of-the-art computational analysis tools and the development of algorithms for sophisticated remote sensing equipment. The contractor's personnel must have extensive experience in the analysis and interpretation of fireball characteristics and expertise in problems involving potential environment contamination scenarios. The Contractor shall provide support which includes the following tasks: Described below are generic descriptions of typical tasks required by NSWC IHEODTD. These tasks will require the use of one or more of the following codes developed by the contractor, CRAFT CFD, CRUNCH CFD, and SIG3D and may entail the use of the DoD High Performance Center (HPC) network of supercomputers. Specific tasking will be assigned to the contractor by NSWC IHEODTD under specific Delivery Orders (DO) that may be provided during each fiscal year (FY). The contractor shall provide all personnel, data, materials, services, and facilities required to perform the tasks.FSC Code AJ12 and NAICs code 541712.
