Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing Level 3 Certification Service

The government authority located in Groton, Connecticut is seeking a vendor to provide in-person course instruction, certification, and examination on Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT) Level III for two personnel. The agency needs to ensure these personnel can demonstrate a thorough understanding of advanced PAUT theory and fundamentals, as well as model a PAUT technique prior to inspection. This modeling includes configuring pipe schedule, material type, transducer frequency, and beam divergence. The scope of work requires the vendor to train personnel to set up, operate, and perform encoded scans on pipe configurations using the Evident OmniScan platform. Personnel must also learn to analyze PAUT data sets using Evident WeldSight software through comprehensive training and step-by-step instruction. The training must enable the personnel to evaluate scanning results specifically against NAVSEA TP-271 and MIL-STD-2035 accept and reject criteria. Finally, the instruction must prepare personnel to generate formal, compliant PAUT inspection reports that document defect locations, signal-to-noise ratios, and characterize indications. The agency has set aside this procurement opportunity entirely for small businesses. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States of America. Bidders may submit their proposals digitally via email or through the online portal. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget, and no specific key dates or evaluation criteria are provided in the source.
