1.0 Purchase of Machining, Mechanical Testing, and Chemical Analysis Services in Support of Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) Code 611

2.0 Background and Objectives

NSWCCD Code 611 performs research and development in the areas of welding, processing, non-destructive evaluation, and other allied processing techniques. Code 611 also provides in service engineering and technical support to NAVSEA technical warrant holders and various program offices. As part of the research and development efforts and engineering support, it is necessary to procure machining, mechanical testing, and chemical analysis services for a wide range of material types. A full list of the mechanical and chemical tests is provided in Table 1. The machining aspect of the service contract involves the contractor performing final machining of test specimen blanks to the dimensions required by the applicable testing standard. NSWCCD Code 611 will provide specimen blanks that are large enough to allow the contractor to perform the final machining.

The goal of this contract is to procure machining, mechanical testing and chemical analysis services from a single vendor who can provide the maximum value to NSWCCD Code 611 in terms of variety of services offered, cost, and quality of services provided. The services will be used to assist Code 611 in providing research, development, and engineering support services to the NAVSEA technical community and other sponsors.

3.0 Scope of Work

The contractor shall provide machining, mechanical testing, and chemical analysis services. The full list of desired services is provided in Table 1. The vendor does not need to be capable of providing the entire list of testing services but NSWCCD would prefer to procure as many of the testing services as possible from a single contractor.

NSWCCD Code 611 will be responsible for:

1. Shipping the test materials to the contractor

a. For machining and mechanical testing, specimen blanks shall be shipped to the contractor as the machining and mechanical testing service requirements arise

b. For machining and chemical analysis, sufficient material for the required analyses shall be shipped to the contractor as the machining and mechanical testing requirements arise

2. Clearly identifying and labelling the test material

3. Providing clear instructions for what machining, handling, preparation, testing temperature, and testing standards should be followed by the contractor

a. The majority of testing will occur between -150F and +150F, however some testing may be required at more extreme temperatures

b. Both elevated and depressed temperatures may be required

4. Answering any questions that the contractor may have regarding the nature of the testing or the samples.

The contractor shall be responsible for:

1. Maintaining ISO certification, or an equivalent certification, for all of the services provided as part of this contract

2. Notifying NSWCCD Code 611 when the shipment of samples for testing is received

3. Tracking the number of samples of each test type that have been received and maintaining the specimen identification throughout the testing or analysis process

4. Requesting clarification on any questions that the contractor has before the test materials are altered in any way

5. Initiating the machining, mechanical testing, and/or chemical analysis within 5 business days of the date that the samples were received

6. The required delivery date will be specified as part of each task order.

7. Providing electronic test reports. All raw data shall be made available if required.

8. Shipping the excess material and tested specimens back to NSWCCD while preserving the integrity of the samples and maintaining the identity of the specimens The desired period of performance for this contract is one year.

4.0 Government Furnished Information (GFI)

NSWCCD shall provide clear instructions to the vendor including the material type, applicable testing standard, and any special considerations for the set of samples.

5.0 Government Furnished Material (GFM)

NSWCCD shall provide specimen blanks and accompanying documentation that clearly identifies the applicable testing standards, material types, and any other special considerations for each set of samples.

6.0 Performance and Delivery

The desired period of performance for this contract is one year.

6.1 Deliverables

7.0 Travel

The contractor must permit NSWCCD to visit their facility to witness testing if NSWCCD determines that such visits are necessary. All associated travel expenses are the responsibility of NSWCCD separate form this contract. No contract travel expenses are required.
