The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NWSCDD) intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Materials Research and Design (MR&D) Inc., 300 E Swedesford Rd., Wayne, PA 19087, for continued previously initiated studies of thermo-structural behavior of carbon-carbon, carbon/phenolic, and quartz composites for use in advanced reentry applications and life extension studies. The development is required to support Navy Research, Development, Test and Evaluation programs for Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile Reentry Systems. This is follow-on to NSWCDD contract N00178-06-C-1024. MR&D's capabilities in thermo-structural analysis and material property database development for reentry applications make them uniquely qualified to perform this follow-on effort. A cost-plus-fixed-fee contract will be awarded. The contract will include a one year base period and four one year options. Solicitation number is N00178-10-R-3029.
