PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

PMS 396 Passive Fire Protection Shock/Vibe Test Services

Applicable Document:

MIL-DTL-901, “Detail Specification Shock Tests, H.I. (High-Impact) Shipboard Machinery, Equipment, And Systems, Requirements For,” 2017.

MIL-STD-167, “Mechanical Vibrations of Shipboard Equipment,” 1993.

1.0 DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES/INTRODUCTION:

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) Code 612, Fire Protection Group (FPG) requires a contract that provides shock and vibration test services to support the evaluation of a passive fire protection system being developed for deployment onboard USN submarines. The aforementioned shock and vibration testing will be conducted in accordance with MIL-DTL-901 and MIL-STD-167, respectively.

2.0 BACKGROUND:

The NSWCCD Code 612 FPG is the Material Fire Performance Engineering Agent and Engineering Manager for Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA 05P5) and is responsible for test, evaluation, analysis, and assessment of Fire Technologies and Certifications related to materials/systems. Part of this work requires the evaluation of passive fire protection systems (i.e., fire insulation) in both thermally-adverse, as well as mechanically-adverse conditions. The contract being requested will enable the Navy to evaluate a first-of-kind fire insulation system to be installed on USN submarines. Traditionally, passive fire protection systems are only subjected to shock testing; however, the system in question leverages an adhesively-bonded attachment thus vibration testing has also been requested by stakeholders.

3.0 OBJECTIVE:

3.1 Services:

3.1.1 The contractor shall provide shock and vibration test services in accordance with MIL-DTL-901 and MIL-STD-167. These test services will include the following;

3.1.1.1 Development of drawings and test plans to support the fabrication and execution of testing in accordance with MIL-DTL-901 and MIL-STD-167.

3.1.1.2 Fabrication of a partial section of a tube that appears as a Quonset hut shape which will be approximately four feet across with a four-foot radius of curvature including drawings, materials procurement, and labor to fabricate

3.1.1.3 Execution of one, three axis vibration series, per MIL-STD-167-1A, over the course of 3 days at the contractor’s test site.

3.1.1.4 Execution of one, 3 axis shock test series, per MIL-STD-901, over the course of 3 days at the contractor’s test site.

3.1.1.5 Development of test reports documenting the findings and results of the test described in 3.1.1.3 and 3.1.1.4.

3.1.2 The contractor shall provide fabrication services to create test samples that support the execution of testing identified in Section 3.1.1.

3.1.3 The contractor shall provide passive fire protection installation services that support the execution of testing identified in Section 3.1.1.

3.1.4 The contractor shall complete all testing and provide a draft technical report no later than 2 months upon completion of testing (CDRL A001).

3.1.5 The Government will provide comments on the draft technical report within 2 weeks of draft submission. Within 2 weeks of Government comments, the contractor shall incorporate the Government comments as applicable and provide a final technical report. (CDRL A001).

3.2 Materials:

3.2.1 Materials associated with the fabrication of the test samples, other than those required for passive fire protection installation, shall be provided by the contractor.

3.2.2 Materials associated with the passive fire protection system including insulation, attachment hardware, and adhesive shall be provided by the government to the contractor.

4.0 SPECIAL QUALIFICATIONS:

4.1 The Contractor shall provide engineering and technical support to design, carry out and report test results of fire and physical property testing of materials.

4.2 The Contractor shall have their own, or have access to, the equipment and facilities required for MIL-S-901 and MIL-STD-167 testing.

4.3 The contractor and their associated test sites shall be located in proximity of 100 miles to NSWC Carderock to minimize travel distance when supporting and/or observing test article construction and test execution as well as limit the extent to which the test article is transported over the road between shock and vibration test series.

5.0 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS: N/A

6.0 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED EQUIPMENT/PROPERTY/INFO: N/A

7.0 DELIVERABLES: The contractor shall provide a technical report as defined in CDRL A001.

8.0 PERIOD, PLACE OF PERFORMANCE AND DELIVERY:

8.1 The contractor shall provide base year contract supplies and complete services by December 31, 2025.

8.2 Exact date(s) for the service visit(s) will be coordinated by the Primary POC with the contractor.

8.3 Shock and vibration test services will be performed at the contractor’s test sites in Virginia (Waynesboro).
