About this opportunity
The Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center seeks engineering services to reverse engineer the core of the B-2 aircraft's load heat exchangers through solicitation FA811821R0009. The contractor shall develop processes to disassemble and remove defective cores, manufacture replacement cores using stacking and vacuum brazing techniques, and install the new cores. The contractor must provide technical data on heat exchanger disassembly, core manufacturing, tooling designs, and installation processes. Two government-furnished heat exchangers will be provided for prototyping purposes. Offers are due by March 29, 2021 and the contract will be a cost-plus-fixed-fee type with a period of performance of 18 months.
This requirement has an 8(a) sole source set-aside designation. The primary NAICS code is 541330 with the predominant PSC code R425. The period of performance is 18 months and will take place at various Air Force bases that support the B-2 fleet. Offerors must have experience in reverse engineering, heat exchanger design, and related manufacturing capabilities.
Notice text
This engineering effort is to reverse engineer the core of the B‐2 Load Heat Exchangers, develop disassembly process to remove defective cores, develop a stacking, vacuum brazing and welding process to manufacture new heat exchanger cores and to develop a welding process to install the new cores on existing B‐2 Load Heat Exchangers. The requirement includes reverse engineering the re‐core process for the B‐2 Load Heat Exchangers. The B‐2 Load Heat Exchanger (NSN 1660‐01‐350‐8209FW) uses air and Ethylene Glycol Water (EGW) liquid to produce cold air for the cooling system.
