1. INTRODUCTION

The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Corona Division, Measurement Science & Engineering Department, Interface Engineering & Assessment Division (MS20) requires Bottom, Mechanical Electronic Box (MEB)/Hazard Electronic Box (HEB) Enclosure Assembly (Drawing Number: 8660494) for the Vertical Launching System (VLS).

2. BACKGROUND

Naval Sea System Command (NAVSEA) Integrated Weapons System (IWS) Code 3L has a requirement to procure Bottom, MEB/HEB Enclosure Assembly (Part Number: 8660494-9). These parts will be installed in the MEB and HEB of the VLS.

3. REQUIREMENTS

· Local Vendor request: There will be a geographical restriction due to periodic assessments on the machining to be performed for this equipment. In order to meet the Governments minimum needs, quality/calibration tests may need to be performed throughout the material manufacturing. Having the ability to routinely provide on-site inspections will mitigate specific risks such as misalignments and “out of tolerance” calibration issues. Another value added benefit is to reduce measurement errors by having quality control during the lifecycle of the manufacturing, which will increase accuracy and decrease uncertainty.
