Description

NA As a result of previous synopses issued on 24 June 2002, 1 July 2002 and 19 December 2002, the government is in the process of purchasing commercially available protective masks, which will be tested against the government performance specification for the Joint Chemical Environment Survivability Mask (JCESM). As a result of a recent change in the government's acquisition strategy, the requirements for the JCESM have been revised which will result in the procurement of a Block I JCESM and a Block II JCESM. The government will test commercial available masks against the requirements of the Block 1 performance specification. The changes to the performance specification, which has been posted on the following website, https://abop.monmouth.army.mil/ibophome. nsf/home?open under RFP DAAD13-02-R-0031, are listed below: Vapor challenge levels identified for each block (Block I - 3333 CT, Block II - 10,000 CT) (what is CT) Continuous above-the neck head protection for six hours - Block II, two hours Block I Only Block II has a drink tube requirement Only Block II has FOV requirements Only Block II must permit use of receiving and transmitting communication devices Only Block II has immersion to 66 feet of saltwater Based on the results of these tests, the government may elect to limit competition for future procurements of the JCESM. Therefore, potential offerors should contact Ms. Carol Hillen at (410) 436-2053 regarding the submission of potential candidate masks for testing. Those firms that have previously submitted sample masks need not reply to this announcement. A subsequent Presolicitation/Procurement announcement will be issued at a later date.
