- Description
- Environmental and Energy Quality Technologies. Specific research and development efforts are needed for effective and timely identification, development, testing, and implementation of environmental and energy technologies to address Air Force needs. The estimated dollar value of the overarching basic contract is $49,000,000.00, and is based on a 5 year program. The primary objective of this performance-based acquisition is to perform research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E), and transition new technologies to reduce or eliminate hazardous chemicals, materials, and waste streams through cost-effective programs and practices, while improving energy efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The technical effort for this program will encompass technical studies and analyses, concept development and validation, technical and test requirements development and analysis, cost-benefit analysis, systems design, fabrication and assembly; engineering and integration; test and evaluation, and technical transition that is associated with maintenance, operation and training activities during demonstration, validation and implementation. This program is being shaped by the emergence of new Executive Orders, DoD policy, and proliferation of new state and local laws, rules and regulations pertaining to the industrial use of hazardous, toxic, ozone depleting and global warming substances. The program will initially consist of one (1) task order, entitled, "Advanced Laser Coating Removal Development", with a purpose to develop a state-of-the -art, laser-based robotic coating removal system for large on and off-aircraft components including radomes, flight controls, landing gear doors and engine cowlings. In addition, subsequent task orders might become necessary to address the following technology areas, and transition alternative solutions to Air Force weapon systems: - heavy metal plating chemistry (electrolytic and electrolysis) - chemical and mechanical cleaning materials and processes - organic and inorganic corrosion preventative systems - application and removal of organic coating systems - other recycle/recovery/reuse alternatives to materials and processes - Petroleum-based energy, including renewable sources that meet AF policy and operational requirements. The proposed contract action is for a performance-based acquisition for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate on a full and open, competitive basis. It is anticipated that a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) solicitation providing more details into this program will be released on or about 19 November 2008, and will be available at www.fedbizopps.gov. Other business opportunities for the Air Force Research Laboratory are also available at www.fedbizopps.gov. Direct questions to the Contracting point of contact identified in the announcement.
