- Description
- Title - W911QY-13-R-0001 - Contamination Indication/Decontamination Assurance System (CIDAS); The Army Contracting Command -Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) Contracting Center, Natick Contracting Division, Natick, MA, in support of the Joint Program Manager for Decontamination (JPM Decon) and the Decontamination Family of Systems (DFoS) Program, intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) on the basis of full and open competition on or about on or about 2 January 2013, which will be accessible to all interested parties from the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website on-line at https://www.fbo.gov/. Announcement number W911QY-13-R-0001 will be the controlling document for preparation and submission of proposals. All responsible sources may submit a proposal to be considered by this agency. The Government is in no way liable to pay for or reimburse companies or entities that respond to this RFP. DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The Contractor will provide an applicator/indicator system to indicate the presence of chemical warfare agents down to thorough decontamination levels on surfaces before and/or after a decontamination operation, and also visually indicates the exact location of that contamination providing significant utility during Detailed Equipment Decontamination (DED) operations. 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 quote mark hot spots quote mark from quote mark clean spots quote mark 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. The Government anticipates awarding one or more Firm Fixed Price contracts. Funds are presently not available for this acquisition.
