Request for Information (RFI)

Foaming Corrosion Preventive Compound (CPC) Barriers for Enhanced Corrosion Protection in

Enclosed Areas

1. SCOPE

1.1. BACKGROUND:

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is investigating foaming

Corrosion Preventive Compound (CPC) barriers for enhanced corrosion protection in enclosed areas to prevent corrosion on ground vehicles and tactical assets operating in a marine environment. NSWCCD intends to assess market-available foaming corrosion barrier that can be applied to interior parts such as frame rails, boxed structural members, and enclosed cavities to provide corrosion protection to otherwise inaccessible and susceptible parts. The key aspect of the intended corrosion barrier is the foaming application; this will allow full coverage of interior components regardless of configuration or orientation.

1.2. OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of this RFI is to conduct market research to identify potential vendors with products available that meet the capability criteria listed in this document.

1.3. DISCLAIMER:

This is a Request for Information (RFI) only. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an

RFP in the future. This RFI does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Responders are advised that the U.S. Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI.

1.4. REQUIRED CAPABILITY:

Products of interest must include a foaming application. The product must be able to provide coverage to void spaces up to 4 inches in diameter while also providing at least 2 feet length of coverage. The product is required to meet the following criteria:
