Description

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is conducting a market investigation to identify possible sources of water displacing corrosion preventative compounds (CPCs) or rust inhibitors for application in the Army Corrosion Service Centers (CCS). The Operational Requirements Document for the CPCs (FCS), dated 25 Nov 02, indicates that corrosion must be reduced by 30%, either in quantity or severity, over an untreated surface. Additionally, treatment with CPCs must not adversely impact the performance of any military coatings. Candidates will be tested over coated and uncoated steel, aluminum and magnesium. Samples will be exposed to accelerated cyclic corrosion and constant salt fog environments. The vendor will supply technical support in the form o f application procedures and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) prior to the test phase. It is anticipated that the integration effort will take four months and the test effort will take five months. The CPC selected must already be in production to allow for the above integration/test effort as detailed above. This market survey is for information purposes only; this is not a Request for Quotations or a Request for Proposals. No solicitation document exists. Funding is presently not available and not guar anteed. Costs associated with the preparation and submission of information and/or any follow-up information requests are the responsibility of the vendor and these costs will not be reimbursed by the Government. All interested firms, regardless of size, are encouraged to respond to this request for information by 05 May 2005. Responses and questions may be sent via email to cemiller@arl.army.mil. Please be advised that .zip and .exe files cannot be accepted.
