About this opportunity
The Air Force Sustainment Center seeks proposals for engineering services to reverse engineer the cores of B-2 aircraft sink heat exchangers. Offerors must develop processes to disassemble defective cores, manufacture new cores through stacking, brazing and welding techniques, and install new cores. Deliverables include technical data for disassembly, new cores, and installation processes. Proposals are due by March 29, 2021 and will be evaluated based on technical approach, past performance, and price. The period of performance is 18 months.
This is an 8(a) sole source set-aside designated under NAICS 541330 with a PSC code R425. The Air Force will provide two heat exchangers as prototypes to be returned upon completion. Pricing will be on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis. Work will be performed at the contractor's facility for the duration of the 18-month period of performance.
Notice text
This engineering effort is to reverse engineer the core of the B‐2 Sink 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 Sink Heat Exchangers. The requirement includes reverse engineering the re‐core process for the B‐2 Sink Heat Exchanger (Sink HX). The B‐2 Sink Heat Exchanger (NSN 1660‐01‐262 5588FW) is a Ethylene Glycol Water (EGW) to air HX located in the A/C secondary airflow system above the A/C engines. Sensors within the ECW system sense when the temperature of the EGW fluid entering the equipment, pack and routes some or all of the EGW fluid through the sink HX. The deliverables will include all technical data related to the heat exchanger disassembly, all technical data related to the cores, all technical data related to the stack up, vacuum brazing and installation of the cores on existing units.
