- General Information Document Type: Request for Information RFI Number: W911QY-11-R-CIDAS Posted Date: 05/27/2011 Response Date: 06/20/2011 Contracting Office Address ACC-APG, Natick Contracting Division ATTN: CCRD Natick Contracting Division, Building 1 Kansas Street, Natick, MA 01760-5011 Description The Product Manager for the Decontamination Family of Systems (DFoS) under the Joint Project Manager for Protection (JPM P) is conducting a market survey to identify potential Contamination Indicator / Decontamination Assurance Systems (CIDAS) that could benefit the Warfighter by identifying the location of Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents (CBWA), Non-Traditional Agents (NTAs) and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) / Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMs) on military vehicles and equipment. Specifically the DFoS Product manager is requesting information on: Prototype technologies/systems with the ability to identify the specific types of Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA) and the locations of CBWA contamination or post-decontamination CBWA residual. The performance of CIDA technologies in the presence of field grime ("mud, blood, and crud"), other common materials encountered in the field of operations area (e.g. Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants (POLs)), or cleaning/decontamination materials/methods. Prototype technologies/systems capable of providing a visible indication of gross contamination when applied to a surface as a stand-alone technology or with a decontaminant. Prototype technologies/systems sensitive enough to indicate contamination levels to that of standard fielded detectors (i.e., M8 CW Agent Detector Paper, M9 CW Agent Detector Tape, JCAD, CAM, ACADA) and be visible by the human eye or detectable/visible by a supporting technology, ideally remaining visible for the length of the decontamination process. Prototype technologies/systems that minimize false-positive responses to POLs, coating/sealant technologies, exhaust fumes, cleaning compounds/disinfectants, etc. Prototype technologies/systems that minimize degradation to military equipment, its electronic and optic components, hazards to both personnel and the environment, and not produce uncontrollable residual hazards during the decontamination process. Prototype technologies/systems that are compatible with and do not interfere with standard fielded detectors (i.e., M8 CW Agent Detector Paper, M9 CW Agent Detector Tape, JCAD, CAM, ACADA). Prototype technologies/systems that do not degrade or affect the performance of individual protection equipment (IPE) to a level of unacceptable risk, or present any uncontrolled safety hazards to personnel in appropriate mission oriented protective posture (MOPP). Requested Information Please complete the attached questionnaire and provide any supporting data, to include the documents specified below. The questionnaire covers technical performance, compatibility and logistical parameters for the Agent Disclosure / Decontamination Assurance technology. Documentation provided in response to this RFI will be used to substantiate information provided to the questionnaire. Mandatory RFI Submission Documents 1.Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Contamination Indicator/Decontamination Assurance (CIDA) material mixed as appropriate and ready to apply 2.MSDSs for each component of CIDA material as manufactured and stored 3.Performance and Efficacy Test Reports/Data to support claims 4.Vendor Preliminary Assessment of Product Scalability (i.e. how your CIDAS could be used on small localized areas and then scaled up to use on large whole vehicles or facilities) Point of Contact (POC) Interested parties shall submit information in response to this RFI to: Joint Project Manager for Protection ATTN: Erica Howell 50 Tech Parkway, Suite 301 Stafford, VA 22556 Questions concerning this RFI may be addressed by contacting: Veronica St. Claire Science & Technology support for DFoS, JPM P (540) 845-7668 veronica.stclaire@us.army.mil Responses shall be received NLT COB June 20, 2011. Documents shall be electronic in Microsoft Word, Excel, Power Point, and/or Adobe Professional format and provided on compact disk (CD). No telephonic responses to this RFI will be considered. Where the vendor deems appropriate, hard copies can also be submitted as backup and/or support information. Additional Information Technologies should be currently available or are actively being pursued by industry to be available in 2012, either in product or functional prototype form. All information received in response to this RFI that is marked proprietary will be handled accordingly. Responses to the RFI will not be returned. Responses to this RFI are not offers for contract and will not be used by the Government to form a binding contract. Responders are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this RFI. Vendors having products that they believe would be suitable for military decontamination operations as described herein shall submit all supporting documentation requested by this solicitation to the POC noted above.
