Description
Weber State University is soliciting requests for proposals (RFP) for consulting services on small scale field assisted plasma sintering. The university's Missile and Energy Research Center (MERC) is looking to develop electric field assist plasma sintering processing technology for high volume production of carbon/carbon and carbon/Sic composites for ballistic, hypersonic, and energy applications. The selected consultant will provide engineering and prototyping services for plasma sintering, including the development of small scale prototypes of up to 6 inches in diameter and 4 inches height. The contract is expected to start on February 1, 2024, and end on January 31, 2025, with the option for up to four one-year renewals. The university is seeking a qualified consultant with experience in plasma sintering technology and the ability to provide rapid prototyping capability.
Some key points to consider:
* The consultant must have the necessary technology, experience, and rapid prototyping capability to produce small scale prototypes.
* The consultant must have a minimum of 5 years' experience with plasma sintering technology.
* The consultant must be a pre-qualified US Government provider of this service.
* The contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria, which includes engineering capabilities, equipment capability, qualifications, references, and cost.
* The university reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to waive any informality or technicality in any proposal.
