Nature of Requirements:
Title: Technical services concerning numerial analyses in the
field of external and terminal ballistics.
The Statement of Work (SOW) describe the services required by
Defence R&D Canada - Valcartier (DRDC Valcartier) aimed at
carrying out the following objectives :
Objectives
The objectives of the work are to provide DRDC Valcartier,
Precision Weapons and Weapons Effects and Protection sections
with specialized technical services concerning numerical
analyses in the field of external and terminal ballistics. The
work to be performed will involve the following:
literature reviews;
analytical development;
hydrodynamics finite element modelling;
CAD meshing;
molecular dynamics modeling; and
Computational fluid dynamics calculations for external
ballistics analysis.
Background
DRDC Valcartier, Precision Weapons (WP) and Weapons Effects and
Protection (WEP) sections plan and execute applied R&D programs
and direct support to CF projects in the field of external and
terminal ballistics. The sections have formed programs on
vehicle and personnel protection as well as on small arms and
flight mechanics. These programs, including their numerical
simulation components are exten-sively sought out and more since
future small arms research program (FSAR) and mild-traumatic
brain injury projects were approved. External support is
required mainly for converting CT-Scans images, RMI or X-ray
images to CAD format, meshing of different threats and targets
including the human body and performing Finite-Element (FE)
studies using hydrocodes. Running of molecular dynamics
simulations as well as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
calculations for flight mechanics are also required. Sup-port
may also be required to model new threats and protection systems
for personnel and vehicles, supersonic external aerodynamics,
supersonic intakes, projectile impact probability and
aeroheating of hypersonic projectiles.
Tasks:
Task 1: Provide CAD and meshed models from CT-Scan, MRI and
X-Ray Images
Task 2: Multi-physics based numerical modeling using Hydrocodes
and CFD codes
Task 3:Engineering and technical support for experiments
Client department
The services will be rendered to Defence Research and
Development Canada (DRDC-Valcartier).
Period of the contract :
The period of the Contract is from April 1, 2013 to March 31,
2017 inclusive.
Estimated funding available
The maximum funding available for the contract resulting from
the bid solicitation is $950,000.00 CAD (Goods and Services Tax
or the Harmonized Sales Tax extra, as appropriate). Bids valued
in excess of this amount will be considered non-responsive.
This disclosure does not commit Canada to pay the maximum
funding available.
Ownership of Intellectual Property :
Defence Research and Development Canada - Valcartier has
determined that any intellectual property rights arising from
the performance of the Work under the resulting contract will
belong to Canada.
Technical Criteria evaluation and basis selection
Technical Proposal: 25 points, minimum 13 points
Management Proposal: 18 points, minimum 10 points
Qualification of proposed resources:42 points, minimum 20 points
Bidder's qualifications: 20 points, minimum 10 points
Total: 105 points, minimum 53 points.
Basis of Selection - Lowest Evaluated Price Per Point
To be declared responsive, a bid must:
(a) comply with all the requirements of the bid solicitation;
(b) meet all mandatory technical evaluation criteria;
(c) obtain the required minimum points for each group of
criteria with a pass mark; and
(d) obtain the required minimum points overall for the technical
evaluation criteria which are subject to point rating.
Bids not meeting (a) or (b) or (c) or (d) will be declared
non-responsive. Neither the responsive bid that receives the
highest number of points nor the one that proposed the lowest
price will necessarily be accepted. The responsive bid with the
lowest evaluated price per point will be recommended for award
of a contract. The evaluated price per point will be determined
by dividing the evaluated price of the bid by the number of
points obtained for the point rated technical evaluation
criteria.
In the event that two or more responsive bids have the same
lowest evaluated price per point, the responsive bid with the
lowest evaluated price will be recommended for award of a
contract.
