Due to conference facility size, attendance is limited. Your request must include the company name, contact person, address, phone number, fax number, e-mail address and the names of the representatives planning to attend. Attendance is not mandatory and will not affect your eligibility to submit an RFP offer.

Detailed information regarding the Pre-Solicitation Conference, including agenda, directions, conference facility and accommodations will be posted when the exact location is announced. It is incumbent upon interested parties to monitor this posting for updated information. Draft RFP: The draft RFP for the CIDAS program is posted in the Federal Business Opportunities website www.fbo.gov for solicitation W911QY-13-R-0001. Send questions and comments regarding the draft RFP to Ms. Jean Greenwood at jean.t.greenwood.civ@mail.mil with a courtesy copy to Mr. Peter Wallace at peter.j.wallace6.civ@mail.mil no later than 1530 hours EDT 1 November 2012. Questions received regarding the draft RFP will be discussed at a planned Q&A session during the Pre-Solicitation Conference. Contamination Indication/Decontamination Assurance System (CIDAS): The goal of CIDAS is to provide the Warfighter a capability that not only detects trace levels of chemical warfare agents on surfaces before and/or after a decontamination operation, but also visually indicates the exact location of that contamination and provides significant utility during Detailed Equipment Decontamination (DED) operations. This technology will afford Warfighters the ability to accurately map the area of disseminated contamination on equipment and quickly determine if a given area is (or is not) contaminated. This technology has unique benefits, such as isolating "hot spots" from "clean spots" on surfaces and visibly indicating whether standard decontamination procedures performed were successful. Given the capability to visibly indicate contaminant location on a surface, DED personnel will be able to focus decontamination efforts on the localized threat, therefore dramatically reducing manpower, water requirements, decontaminant requirements and exposure hazard to Warfighters performing DED while increasing decontamination efficiency. The CIDAS must be compatible with a wide range of materiel and facilities to avoid degrading readiness and capabilities due to damage from the application of indicant. Refer to the Draft RFP for additional information and evaluation criteria. This announcement is not a request for proposals and in no way commits the Government to award a contract. No solicitation exists at this time. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by interested parties for participating in the pre-solicitation conference or responding to this notice.
