Wind Tunnel Modification

The Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division, Lakehurst (NAWCAD LKE) has a requirement for the procurement to modify the Naval Aerodynamic Test Facility Wind Tunnel in room 1B45 of Building 2187, Patuxent River, MD. This procurement will be competed on a full and open competitive basis. The resultant contract shall also provide for options to procure one each balance wind shield, balance plenum and single fairing support system, plus the option to assist the balance contractor to move the new balance into place. A new external balance (Government Furnished Equipment (GFE)) is being installed under the test section of the Naval Aerodynamic Test Facility (NATF) wind tunnel in room 1B45 of Building 2187, Patuxent River, MD. The interior of the NATF test section is 4 ft. high x 4 ft. wide x 8 ft. long. As part of this effort, the external balance will have a new larger turntable than the legacy NATF turntable. The legacy turntable is 17 inches in diameter; the new turntable will be from 36 inches to 40 inches in diameter. This will require the test section floor support structure and floor to be modified.
