- Description
- The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) anticipates negotiation of a competitive, level of effort contract for Research and Development (R&D) in Engineering and the Physical and Life Sciences. Task 1 involves the analysis and control of airborne and waterborne chemicals aboard Navy ships for life support and environmental systems. Parallel efforts in the laboratory support the development of sensors for process control. Task 2 involves new methods of chemical analysis and the development of novel chemical sensors for trace analysis of contaminants in a variety of matrices including waste steams, seawater, and fuel. Task 3 involves research in biotechnology including the development of biosensors for drugs and abuse, biological warfare agents, and other analytes. Work to develop DNA standards and improved biocatalysts is also an important part of the task. Task 4 involves environmental remediation and site characterization efforts to detect and remove buried unexploded ordinance. Laboratory support for development and evaluation of new detection sensors and navigation technologies will be required. Task 5 also involves environmental remediation, including in situ bioremediation, and site characterization efforts to detect, degrade or remove organics in aquatic, marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Task 6 involves the synthesis, modification and characterization of surfaces, interfaces, and materials. This task also addresses a wide range of surface chemistry and materials properties and performance issues. Task 7 involves the synthesis and characterization of materials for energy storage, conversion and generation. Disordered, amorphous and/or nanostructured materials are likely materials to be investigated for battery, supercapacitor, ultracapacitor, photovoltaic, fuel cell and electrocatalyst applications. Task 8 involves x-ray for lithography and the development of sensors to detect nuclear wastes and weapons. Task 9 requires laboratory research and field engineering support for the development and evaluation of hull, mechanical and electrical systems and components for Navy ships. Task 10 involves the computerized calibration of instruments and development of computer hardware and software to conduct specialized data collection and analysis. NRL will consider proposals submitted by all responsible sources. NRL may make multiple awards based upon this anticipated cost plus fixed fee level of effort contract with a five-year period of performance. The research effort will be possibly at the Naval Research Laboratory and contractor site. This procurement is a follow-on contract to NRL Contract N00173-00-C-2031 awarded to Geo-Centers, Inc, 7 Wells Avenue, Newton Centre, Massachusetts 02159. Other business opportunities for NRL are available at our website http://heron.nrl.navy.mil/contracts/rfplist.htm The response date published in this synopsis is the current estimated closing date. The actual closing date for proposals will be stated in the solicitation when issued.
