- Description
- In accordance with FAR 17.503, this is a Sources Sought for Government Requirements from a source having a documentable history of similar activity: 1. Evaluate bacteria from the jet fuel bacterial collection for growth and degradation effects (rates) in fuels with the content of normal parafins, isoparaffins, cyclo-paraffins and aromatics, specifically Isopar-L and Exxsol D80. 2. Determine if bacteria that grow in diesel or jet fuels can be adapted to grow and degrade Isopar-L and Exxsol D80. 3. Isolate and characterize (growth rate, hydrocarbon degradation rate) new environmental (soil, water, fuel) bacteria that are capable of growing on Isopar-L and Exxsol D80. 4. Characterize up to 10 microorganisms provided for their hydrocarbon degradation profile in fuels with the content of normal parafins, isoparaffins, cyclo-paraffins and aromatics, specifically Isopar-L and Exxsol D80. 5. Characterize the hydrocarbon degradation profile using specific analytical methods for samples produced from research performed under Tasks 1, 3 and 4. 6. Collaborate with the Government on genomic comparison studies, to include microarray and riboprofiling studies, for specified microorganisms of interest. 7. Complete all tasking in sufficient time to allow closeout of project by 30 September 2016. 8. Deliverables include a final project report, summary report, quarterly reports, copies of published manuscripts, copies of project data on external hard drive(s), and any relevant microbial strains as frozen glycerol stocks or agar slants. Also, specific data for microorganisms, in the form of growth rate studies, fuel degradation studies, and degradation profile studies that identify the types of alkanes metabolized by different bacterial species. 9. Furnish the necessary facilities, materials, and technical personnel, together with adequate support and management personnel, to provide supplies or services as required. 10. The Government will provide technical direction. Performance is at the vendor?s facility. Capable vendors need to respond to David.Foreman@nnsa.doe.gov no later than the expiration date at midnight Mountain Time. For additional information, send questions to the same contact prior to 2/8/16 at 6 AM Mountain Time.
