Propulsor Composite Prototype
The Naval Sea Systems Command seeks proposals to provide design engineering, manufacturing support, and prototype development for composite and multi-material naval vessel components including propulsors, shafting, sonar arrays, and other shipboard equipment. Offerors must demonstrate experience with concept design, technology maturation, and completing manufacturing efforts as evidenced by drawings, prototypes, and other deliverables. Proposals are due by January 8, 2021 and will be evaluated based on technical qualifications, past performance, and price to select an awardee.
This requirement is set aside solely for small businesses and involves work in the 541712 and PSC J019 NAICS/PSC codes. Offerors will produce scale models and full-scale prototypes to demonstrate composite propulsor and other advanced materials technologies through 2025 with performance taking place throughout the United States. Previous similar contracts experienced cost and schedule overruns, so the selected contractor must control reimbursement costs under the indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract while meeting technical and timeline objectives.
