Aging & Surveillance - Bomb Testing FA821325RB010
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 24, 2025Engineering services and support to create the Predictive Age Life Model (PALM) to determine the useful life of each bomb type in USAF inventory involve identifying bomb-specific aging mechanisms through sub-scale and full-scale testing, including arena and sled testing; modeling and simulation analyses; mathematical modeling; measurement of mass properties; CT-scanning all bomb test articles; dissection and coring; and iteratively modifying and validating structural-based PALM with sub-scale test results and hydro-code-based PALM with full-scale test results.
As part of ongoing market research, the notices seek industry input on this PALM development effort. The two notices describe identical requirements; no changes are indicated between them.
This is a Request for Information (RFI) as part of on-going market research related to this requirement. The purpose of this requirement is for engineering services and support for the creation of the Predictive Age Life Model (PALM) to determine the useful life of each bomb type in USAF inventory. PALM creation will involve identification of bomb-specific aging mechanisms via sub-scale and full-scale testing to include arena and sled testing support, modeling & simulation analyses, mathematical modeling, measurement of mass properties, CT-scanning all bomb test articles, dissection and coring and iteratively modifying and validating structural-based and hydro-code-based PALM with sub-scale and full-scale test results, respectively.
