Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) Support for The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL)
Center for Corrosion Science and Engineering (CCSE)

Introduction

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Center for Corrosion Science and Engineering (CCSE), Code 6130 in the Chemistry Division seeks multi-disciplinary support of basic experimentation and marine engineered systems related to corrosion science.

Mission

The CCSE is responsible for a wide spectrum of Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) programs in the areas of marine corrosion, marine engineering, materials, electrochemistry, coatings, biofouling remediation and environmental effects related to the Navy surface ships, submarines, marine structures, aircraft, shore facilities and associated government use in general. As part of the mission, the CCSE performs basic and applied RDT&E programs in the laboratory with a number of at-sea and field-based engineering Science & Technology (S&T) demonstrations at command, shipyards, fleet regional maintenance centers and shipboard.

Background

At the basic science level, programs include the study of corrosion mechanisms, electrochemical systems, materials degradation and failure analysis, as related to marine physio-chemistry, protection and associated marine systems. At the applied levels, the CCSE performs detailed engineering design, development and evaluation of systems as related to bioremediation, software design, cathodic protection, marine coatings, propulsion, materials performance and fuel cell technology. The emphasis revolves around the design and implementation of improved technology for legacy and next generation Naval platforms, but also closely explores the needs of life-cycle extension, improved service life, affordability, condition-based maintenance and new technology development and implementation. Scope

The basic scope of this Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract is to conduct scientific, engineering, technical, and analytical Research and Development

(R&D) for a wide range of NRL research projects supporting the Navy’s corrosion mitigation, coatings, environmental and prevention programs, in the following areas: Corrosion Science and Engineering
Material Science and Environmental Compatibility
Marine Coatings Science and Technology
Technology Transfer, Field Demonstrations, and Engineering Support The Contractor shall perform the R&D effort at the individual task order level, to accomplish the requirements at the laboratory, field and facility levels. This includes support for:
