The contractor shall provide engineering and technical services along with the material in support of High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) degaussing systems.

 The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Philadelphia Division (NSWC-PD) Division 224 is seeking sources to provide for the development, test, and delivery of a High Temperature Superconduction (HTS) Degaussing system for a total ship demonstration and prototype installation. The HTS degaussing system components include control units, power modules, junction boxes, cry-coolers, accumulation tanks, HTS degaussing cable assemblies, cold gas lines, software and technology integration packages for Navy ship systems.  Engineering and technical services to be provided shall include development and fabrication of a total ship prototype HTS degaussing system; testing and qualification of the HTS degaussing system; engineering analysis of HTS technology and integration; engineering support during prototype installation and operation; and the development of documentation for all system modifications including technical manuals, installation instruction(s), installation drawings, final configuration drawings, operation instructions, technical and programmatic reports, test notifications, and trip reports. 

It is anticipated to procure this on a sole source basis to American Super Conductor (AMSC).   AMSC are the only source that manufactures HTS cable and equipment that meet the US Navy's requirements for environment and survivability at the lengths required for shipboard degaussing systems.
