PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Title: Purchase and Install Riser for Robot Arm of In-House Robotic Welding System

1.0 Description:

Code 611 of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD), West Bethesda, MD, needs to upgrade its in-house ABB 4600 robotic welding system to enhance robot arm reach capabilities for additive manufacturing (AM)-based fabrication. To do so requires the purchase of a robot arm riser and on-site services to install and integrate the riser with the rest of the in-house robotic welding system.

2.0 Background:

The NSWCCD, Code 611 performs research and development in the areas of welding, processing, nondestructive evaluation (NDE), and other allied processing techniques in support of the Office of Naval Research (ONR), various NAVSEA technical warrant holders and program offices, and other Department of Defense (DoD) organizations. A particular program supported by Code 611 is the ONR-funded “Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) for Additive Manufacturing (AM)” program. As part of this effort, the NSWCCD, Code 611 is upgrading its current robotic welding system to ensure its capabilities remain at the forefront of AM technology. Code 611’s current system, custom-built in 2010 and upgraded in 2020, consists of a robotic arm, positioner, welding machine, computer workstation, software programs, and various in-situ sensors.

3.0 Objective:

The contractor shall provide materials and services needed to install a robot arm riser and integrate it into the NSWCCD’s Code 611’s in-house model ABB 4600 robotic welding system located at the NSWCCD, West Bethesda, MD.

3.1 Minimum Specifications:

The contractor shall provide a robot arm riser customized to integrate with Code 611’s existing system and able to hold an ABB 4600 robot arm that shifts the robot arm at least 24 inches (61

cm) above floor level. The riser must safely maintain the robot arm in place even when the arm is extended to the fullest extent. There is not specific part number or model number requirement for the riser due to the custom nature of the robotic welding system (i.e., likely custom fabricated).

3.2 On-site Services:

3.2.1 Upon award of contract, the Government Technical Point of Contact (TPOC) will electronically furnish a drawing of Code 611’s existing robotic welding system to the contractor to modify to incorporate and depict riser installation changes. The contractor shall return the modified drawing to the NSWCCD TPOC in electronic format within 30 days of contract award.

Upon approval of updated drawings by TPOC, the service visit will be scheduled.

3.2.2 The contractor shall provide up to 36 hours of on-site installation/integration services support. The contractor shall arrange for riser delivery to NSWCCD; perform inspection and un-boxing with TPOC; perform assembly and installation services, including performing clean-up and a post-installation walk-through with the NSWCCD Government TPOC to remedy identified deficiencies; and complete riser integration with in-house welding robot system.

4.0 Special Qualifications: None

5.0 Government Furnished Equipment/Property/Information: See attached NAVSEA Form 4340-2, Government Furnished Information List, Rev Mar 2018.

6.0 Deliverables: None

7.0 Delivery and Period of Performance:

7.1 Period of Performance: The contractor shall provide modified system drawing NLT 30 days following contract award. The contractor shall deliver the riser materials NLT 8 weeks following contract award. Subsequent to delivery, performance of the services shall be completed by 31 March 2023. The date of the service will be coordinated by the Government TPOC with the contractor.
