Increased competition and improved lead times are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to facilitate NESO in supporting the needs of the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy nuclear communities. Mainstream Engineering has carefully reviewed the technical data package for NSN 4810-01-269-4808 provided in the solicitation and is confident that we possess the manufacturing capability, quality manage ...

The Defense Logistics Agency aims to improve product availability and increase competition on a multitude of NSN items for the Nuclear Enterprise Support Office by introducing capable, small business suppliers through the Source Approval Request (SAR) process. Addition of approved sources for these critical/weapon system items can lead to reduced cost and decreased lead times. Expediting the procu ...

There is a lack of in-situ, non-contact, non-destructive techniques to detect the presence of particulates contaminating bulk liquid samples in clean room environment during semiconductor processing.  Leveraging our extensive experience building optical sensor systems, we will design and build an innovative handheld particle counter using diffusive wave spectroscopy. Our handheld system can be u ...

The proposed research and technical objectives in this project deal with computerized automatic delayering and polishing system that would be applicable to both commercial and government semiconductor device research and development with applications including Failure Analysis (FA), Fault Isolation (FI), and Reverse Engineering (RE) of semiconductor microelectronic devices. This project could hel ...

There is constrained domestic availability of strategic metals, superalloys or titanium for example, unacceptably exposing the US military to dependency on foreign sources. A near-term solution is found in the nation’s boneyards, MRO facilities, and machine shops. End of life parts, machine shop scrap, or used powders, represent an untapped source of strategic metals that can provide the US mili ...

High-purity germanium (Ge) is manufactured into infrared (IR) lenses for most DoD night sight IR optics, thermal imaging systems, and IR tracking systems in combat vehicles. A recent report by Umicore (ADA’s partner for this proposed project) identifies several current and future needs for Ge, showing growing needs in the middle of severe shortfall. These applications are essential for tracking ...

Increased competition and improved lead times are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for Aircraft Launch and Recovery Equipment (ALRE) Critical Safety/Critical Application Items (CSI/CAI). Ten ALRE National Stock Number (NSN) items were identified with annual demand values over $10,000 with two or fewer approved sources.Mainstream Engineering has carefully reviewed the ten NSNs provided ...

Increased competition and improved lead times are desired by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) for Land and Maritime Hard to Source Items (HSIs). Three National Stock Number (NSN) / part number (PN) combinations were identified with annual demand values over $10,000 with fewer than two approved sources.Mainstream Engineering has carefully reviewed the NSN/PN combinations provided in the solicitat ...

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) believes there may be advantages to using Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, including the associated benefits of Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, for improving procurement, logistics and distribution processes in its operations today. Commercial businesses around the world are proving gains in reliability, repeatability, and reduced process costs in all ...
