- Description
- Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC), managing contractor of the Savannah River Site for the Department of Energy, is soliciting expressions of interest from companies wishing to obtain license rights to market and distribute the following technology to commercial customers. License rights may be granted on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. WSRC also may be available to assist in further research and development of the technology under a cooperative research and development agreement and/or may provide technical assistance during commercialization of the technology under a license agreement. The technology is tooling related to the disassembly of laboratory acid digestion bombs and associated inner sleeves. The Westinghouse developed technology secures both the vessel and inner sleeve during disassembly to minimize tipping while maximizing the distance between the technician?s body and vessel contents. Additionally, the technology provides mechanical assistance to extract inner sleeves and inner sleeve caps. The technology is specifically useful when dealing with hazardous materials, materials that result in inner sleeve vacuum or pressure forces, or materials that may coat the inner sleeve and reduce gripping force. Any company interested in licensing this technology must respond with a letter of interest (may be submitted by email) no later than November 7, 2003, summarizing the company?s business and technical expertise and motivation for pursuing this opportunity. Qualified companies will be provided with further information on the technology. Such information may require an executed nondisclosure agreement. Respondents wishing to enter into negotiations for a license will be required to submit a business plan prior to licensee selection and negotiations. Company qualifications should include, but not be limited to, evidence of successful commercialization of compatible product lines, sound product develop plan, reasonable schedule for product launch, sufficient manufacturing capacity, global distribution networks, evidence of sufficient financial resources for product development and launch. Questions and expressions of interest may be addressed to Carl B. Hatfield, Licensing Specialist, Technology Transfer, Westinghouse Savannah River Company, Building 773-41A, Aiken, SC 29808, telephone (803) 725-5788, or e-mail carl.hatfield@srs.gov. This is not a procurement; it is a request for parties interested in licensing opportunities only.
