Rapid Screening Device

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Division (NSWC, IHD) intends to award a firm fixed price contract on a noncompetitive basis to Thermal Hazard Technology Inc for the provision of a rapid screening device (RSD) for explosives assessment. The RSD is a novel instrument that simultaneously measures pressure and energy release as well as collects the product gases from heated explosives. The allowed sample size is larger than in other instruments that measure energy release, alleviating issues with sample homogeneity. Key aspects of this opportunity include: • The contract will be a firm fixed price contract. • The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) for this requirement is 334516. • The FSC code is 6630. • Interested parties may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement by May 17 at 3PM (EST). • Responses to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government.
