Propulsor Composites, Composite Shafting & Advanced Materials

This posting is a synopsis and not a request for proposal. A response is not required and any response provided will not be reimbursed by the Government. The proposed acquisition is for a follow-on SBIR Phase III single-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a five-year ordering period being awarded on a sole source basis. The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) Naval Architecture & Engineering Department’s Advanced Propulsor Management Office (APMO) is responsible for managing the Research and Development (R&D), design, testing, and delivery of United States Navy (USN) submarine propulsors. The APMO requires the design and development of advanced materials (inclusive of composites) for prototype propulsors, shafting and bearing components, mechanical design specifications, and manufacturing plans to support the COLUMBIA Class Submarine Program Office (PMS397), the VIRGINIA Class Submarine Program Office (PMS450), and the SSN(X) New Attack Submarine Project Office (PMS4XX).
