The Naval Research Laboratory’s Plasma Physics Division is searching for potential sources capable of performing on-site experimental and theoretical research in pulsed-power physics and engineering, plasma physics, intense laser and charged-particle-beam physics, radiation production and transport, electromagnetic-launcher technology, computational fluid dynamics, production of high-power microwave sources, and the development of new techniques to diagnose and advance these experiments. Tasks performed shall be undertaken on the facilities within the Plasma Physics Division at facilities owned or operated by NRL’s sponsoring or collaborating organizations (e.g. DOE/NNSA laboratories, DoD facilities and high performance computing (HPC) centers, and even foreign laboratories or facilities) and require the capability of designing, fielding, and operating experiments on such accelerators, pulsed power generators, or unique testing environments. The Contractor's theoretical researchers shall work closely with the experimental researchers and shall provide timely analysis and guidance for the experimental research under this contract. The Contractor may be asked to perform in these areas with efforts categorized as basic research, application development, documentation development, and transition. It is anticipated that a Request for Proposals will be issued in the near future. Answers to this RFI will be key in shaping certain aspects of the requirement. C. CONTRACT TYPE: The Government is contemplating a solicitation of proposals for award of a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee contract. D. COMPETITION STRATEGY: Currently contemplating full and open competition unless the results from this RFI support a set-aside of any kind.
