Description
The Army Research Laboratory is seeking a single, custom‑engineered two‑stage light‑gas accelerator (launcher) to be supplied, installed, and demonstrated at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. This is a firm‑fixed‑price, sole‑source solicitation directed to Physics Applications Inc., but any qualified vendor may submit a proposal before the deadline. The contract includes delivery, on‑site installation, and performance testing, with all costs (shipping, handling, installation) to be covered in the quote. The government requires a commercial‑availability certification, indicating the product must be obtainable from existing commercial sources, though the performance specifications (4 km/s launch velocity) suggest a specialized solution.
