Procurement request for Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) 100 Class Composite Propeller Blade Analysis
Solicitation # N0016726Q1156
The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is seeking firm-fixed-price quotes under solicitation N0016726Q1156 for engineering services to support the qualification of a new U.S. production source for LCAC 100 Class composite propellers. The scope of work is divided into two primary objectives: performing a root cause failure analysis of a structural test article to correlate numerical stress and strain responses with observed failure modes and updating fatigue test fixture designs, and providing on-craft support to evaluate the performance of six prototype composite air propeller blades, including the analysis of in-service anomalies and coating performance. The period of performance extends from the date of award through December 31, 2027, with work performed at the contractor's facility, NSWCPCD in Florida, and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek in Virginia. This procurement is not set aside for small businesses and falls under NAICS code 541330. The government intends to award the contract based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria, requiring quotes to be rated as acceptable regarding technical capability and price. Key deliverables include a technical and management work plan, biweekly and monthly status reports, and final reports for both the structural test article and on-craft support. Due to the specialized nature of the fatigue testing and the proprietary knowledge held by the original equipment manufacturer, Materials Sciences LLC, the government has indicated a rationale for restricting competition. All deliverables and government furnished information must be handled as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
