Procurement request for Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) 100 Class Composite Propeller Blade Analysis

The Navy seeks a firm‑fixed‑price contractor to perform a root‑cause failure analysis of a composite propeller blade that failed during fatigue testing and to support on‑craft testing of six prototype blades on LCAC‑100 vessels. Work includes advanced numerical stress analysis, redesign of the fatigue test fixture, on‑craft test planning, bi‑weekly and monthly reporting, final technical reports, and travel to multiple Navy sites. The effort is expected to last nine months from award, with a total performance period through 31 Dec 2027. Deliverables are tightly defined via CDRLs and must be submitted in controlled‑unclassified‑information format.
