About this opportunity
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has a requirement to fabricate three (3) ceramic matrix composite material/components made from high temperature-resistant materials. This is a Sources Sought (SS) notice, not a pre-solicitation or Request for Quote (RFQ), and is intended to allow the government to conduct an initial review of market capabilities in support of the requirement. Interested small business concerns must identify their interest and capability to satisfy the government's need by the closing date of November 22, 2024 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. Responses should address the company's relevant capability and experience to provide supplies/services in accordance with the minimum requirements outlined in the Draft Minimum Requirements Document.
There is no set-aside designation for this opportunity. The contract will be awarded under NAICS code 541715 - Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences. The government has not identified any potential incumbents or current contractors. The budget range or expected award value is not specified in the notice. The key requirement is the production and testing of three ceramic composite panels and four inner-body components that can withstand the extreme conditions of Rotating Detonation Rocket Engines (RDREs), including temperatures up to 5,840F and pressures up to 255 psi, with no active cooling.
