Description

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. For the complete SOW contact Joe L. Libbey at joe.libbey@us.army.mil. Procurement, design, manufacturing, factory testing, site installation, testing, and verification of Aerobiology Class III Hoods. The objective of this project is for the Contractor to provide all labor, materials and equipment necessary to provide a stat e-of-the-art Class III Hoods in accordance with the SOW. Technical Criteria: Design for the above-described work shall be as defined in the SOW except as amended herein. The Contractor shall provide all professional engineering, manufacturing and instal lation services to for constructing Class III Biological Safety Cabinets in Building 1412. All contractor personnel working on site shall be subject to National Agency Check (NAC) clearances. Single Scoped Background Investigation (SSBI) for all personnel working on this project is required. All personnel assigned to this task must have a work ing employee's security background investigations and comply with USAMRIID DD 254 (Department of Defense Contract Security Classification Specification). MANUFACTURERS QUALIFICATIONS. The design, manufacture, testing, system qualification, & integration of Class III BSC??????s are highly complex. USAMRIID requires a working relationship with a manufacturer who has demonstrated successful, long term Class III & Class II design and manufacture capabilities of at least fifteen years. Factory must have demonstrated product support for these fifteen years in term of in house manufactured parts & outside vendor supplied items. As there are interrelationships be tween Class III and Class II BSC??????s, it is mandatory that the manufacturer be listed with the National Sanitation Foundation International Standard #49. 13. SCOPE OF WORK: The Aerobiology Center of Excellence will be housing, transferring, performing aerosol exposures, and analyzing results thereof, concerning non-human primates and rodents in a BL3 laboratory environment. To this extent, space has been allocated for three ( 3) independent Class III Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) lines for support of this research. Each Class III BSC will be nominally eight foot long & double sided, enabling work access from both long sides. An easily removeable transport/decontamination DC powered cart (nominal four foot length) will be provided at one end, and be secured with locki ng clamps designed to ensure repeated sealablility to Class III leak rate standards. Design of the system will permit transport cart portability from the animal holding room doors, to each Class III BSC docking adapter. Animals & work material will enter/ exit through the transport cart access door, and the entire system, (transport cart, docking adapter, Class III BSC) will be designed for decontamination via VHP & paraformaldehyde generator apparatus. (Note: VHP & Paraformaldehyde generators are USAMRIID provided, connection ports are only required). An additional dunk tank system will be installed on the opposite end of the glove box. Concept drawing with sufficient design details to permit a technical review will be required at time of proposal submission. Adherence to general layout, scope of operations, and specifications will be essential to proper evaluation. Ergonomic considerations are also essential. Location of glove ports, sloped viewscreens, access doors with method of closure, portability of transport carts, accessibility of internal/external services, and human inter-relationships (i.e. Show drawing de tail of human accessibility) with these factors shall be considered. For the complete SOW contact Joe L. Libbey at joe.libbey@us.army.mil
