- Description
- Department of Agriculture, animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, National Veterinary Services, 1800 Dayton Avenue, AMES, IA, 50010This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial supplies prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12.6, and supplemental information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will note issued. This combined synopsis/solicitation will result in a firm fixed price contract. Simplified procurement procedures will be used as well as commercial item acquisition regulations per FAR12. This requirement is for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), National Veterinary Services Laboratories, 1800 Dayton Ave., Ames, IA 50010. The reference number for this effort is FBO-PELDO39920 and this combined synopsis/solicitation is issued as a request for quotation RFQ). The provisions and clauses incorporated into this solicitation document are those in effect at the time of publication. Provisions and clauses incorporated by reference have the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. The full text of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) can be accessed on the Internet at http://www.arnet.gov/far. Requirement: Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour (HPV) generator should be manufactured with a ?dual? circuit technology and operate with a ?wet? vapour process under low concentration. The technology utilises the free radicals generated from hydrogen peroxide vapour to bio-deactivate micro-organisms ? and once the bio-deactivation process has finished the hydrogen peroxide vapour is catalytically converted to water and oxygen. The HPV generator should also offer a self-weight of less than 50 lbs and no dryer or catalyst recharge to be required. This combined with an ?in-room? bio-decontamination solution allowing the design and integration of a hydrogen peroxide vapour system with or without fixed wall ports offering significant operator flexibility. The Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Generator shall be used to provide residue-free bio-decontamination in enclosures such as bio-safety cabinets and incubators. The Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Generator shall be able to decontaminate an enclosure up to 350 cubic ft. in size. At a minimum, the Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Generator shall be portable, self-contained and have a dual loop closed circuit for vaporization and catalytic decomposition. It shall have the ability to decontaminate a room up to 350 cubic feet in size, not weigh over 50 lbs, and not have the need to have a catalyst or dryer or recharge required. The Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Generator shall produce hydrogen peroxide vapor by flash evaporating an aqueous non proprietary hydrogen peroxide solution (30-35% wet/weight) on a hot plate into a warm air stream. The cycle progression must include the following, but not limited to: Conditioning ? The decontamination will warm itself up to approximately 110-130 C for proper vaporization of H202 Gassing ? The H2O2 gas shall be introduced into the enclosure until the desired level is obtained, then it and the water vapor concentration shall be maintained at a constant level. Aeration ? The remaining H2O2 gas shall be catalytically decomposed into its degradation components of water and oxygen and the enclosure is ventilated. The Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Generator must be able to be placed internally inside the enclosure to be bio-decontaminated, thus not requiring alterations to the building. An operator interface screen shall be positioned externally to the enclosure in this configuration to allow operation of the Generator without exposure of the operator to the hydrogen peroxide vapor. The Generator shall distribute hydrogen peroxide vapor through a rotating fan directing the hydrogen peroxide vapor throughout the enclosure. In addition H202 will be pulled from the enclosure back out through any filters, allowing the chamber to be decontaminated at a negative pressure. The room shall be aerated at the conclusion of the bio-decontamination cycle by use of two small portable catalytic converters that are hooked up to the gas generator or the building HVAC. The ?internal? catalyst is located within the equipment to be bio-decontaminated and, is automatically activated. The ?external? catalyst is located outside the equipment and helps maintain negative pressure inside the enclosure while removing H202 during aeration. A handheld low level hydrogen peroxide gas detector shall be needed to perform regular instantaneous low level leak checks. The detector shall contain an internal sample pump and a flexible sampling wand to allow pinpoint location of the source of hydrogen peroxide leakage. The character display on the detector shall be large with a backlight for ease of use. The Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor Generator shall be provided with an industry standard control system (Siemens S7 PLC). The system will be a remote controlled interface HMI with an appropriate control cable. Site Acceptance Test (SAT) shall be performed before use, and is comprised of: Documentation Checks of the following: Factory Test Compliance Certificates. Standard Document Package, user manual, routine maintenance manual, safety assessment. Dual loop configuration for vaporization and catalytic decomposition. Utilizes 30-35% wet/weight high grade commercially available, non-proprietary hydrogen peroxide solution. Utilizes a non-degradable catalyst, such as Ruthenium catalyst. Capable of hydrogen peroxide vapor decontamination of a nominal area up to 350 cubic ft. Entire package should be lightweight and contain 3 boxes for easy transportation/storage. closes at 1600 CST 11 Sep 07
