- Description
- NA Request For Information: The U.S. Army Soldier Biological and Chemical Command (SBCCOM)/Product Manager Force Sustainment Systems is conducting a Request For Information (RFI) for relevant methods, chemicals, or technologies applicable to preserving and/o r retarding decomposition of human remains on the battlefield. Information on preservation technologies that present alternatives to conventional mechanical refrigeration systems is of particular interest. Also of interest is information on efficient pow er supplies for powering mechanical refrigeration systems. Technologies identified will be evaluated for potential application for use in the Mobile Integrated Remains Collection System (MIRCS). The MIRCS is a new development program with operational re quirements as follows: contained in a 8 ft. x 8 ft. x 20 ft. ISO compatible shelter; expandable to provide administrative and processing work areas in addition to a storage area for 16 to 20 remains where a means to prevent further decomposition will be e mployed; transportable by C130 aircraft, helicopter sling load, sea, rail and Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck Load Handling System (LHS); onboard power source sufficient to run all equipment and accessories; operable in temperatures from minus 25 F to plus 120 F. Once potential technologies have been reviewed, a Technology Identification and Review Meeting will take place at the Soldier Systems Center in Natick, MA. At this meeting, submitters will have the opportunity to present and discuss their concepts with th e Technical Review Team made up of subject matter experts. All interested firms, regardless of size, are encouraged to respond to this RFI by submitting an explanation of their technology, its state of maturity, and estimates on resources needed to go from R&D to field demonstration. This request is for informati onal purposes only and is not an Invitation for Bid (IFB) or Request for Proposal (RFP). Responses may be sent to via email or by regular mail to: Dennis Magnifico, Natick Solder Center/ SBCCOM, ATTN: AMSSB-RSC-BB(N), 15 Kansas St. Natick, MA. 01760; Tel (508) 233-4432; Fax (508) 233-5223; Email: magnificod@natick.army.mil
