Summary
The opportunity titled "JESTR Slipper Wear Tribology – Validated Model for Development of Wear Reduction Techniques and Materials" is a sources sought notice issued by the Department of the Air Force, specifically the Air Force Test Center. This initiative aims to address the challenges associated with slipper wear during sled testing at high speeds and long distances, which can lead to structural failures. The government is seeking contractors with expertise in developing a validated, physics-based wear prediction model and associated software to enhance the understanding of slipper wear tribology. Businesses that specialize in tribology, materials science, and software development, particularly those registered under NAICS code 611310, are encouraged to respond. This notice serves as a market research tool to inform the government’s acquisition strategy and does not constitute a solicitation for bids.
