- Description
- RFI for Biobased weapons' Cleaner, Lubricant and Preservative (CLP) The US Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) is conducting a Request For Information (RFI) in accordance with FAR 15.201 to determine the availability and technical capability of producing and/or supplying a military weapons' cleaner, lubricant and preservative (CLP) that contains biobased material as a constituent of its formulation. Biobased materials are derived from plants and other renewable agricultural, marine, and forestry materials, which serve as alternatives to conventional petroleum derived materials. The goal is to achieve maximum environmental and user safety benefits with a higher percentage of biobased content, while still meeting all CLP performance requirements and price constraints. The Government requires that the CLP meet all of the performance requirements contained in MIL-PRF-63460E(4), dated 05 November 2014, which is available at the ASSIST QuickSearch website: http://quicksearch.dla.mil/. The intent of this Request for Information is to assess the state-of-the art of the technology available in weapons' cleaner, lubricant and preservative (CLP) products that could be applied to meet this requirement. THIS REQUEST FOR INFORMATION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) TO BE SUBMITTED. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. RESPONSES IN ANY FORM ARE NOT OFFERS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR PREPARATION OF RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY.
