- Description
- The DoD Joint Project Manager for Decontamination (JPM-Decon) is conducting a market survey to identify chemical and biological decontaminants that meet the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (USACHPPM) civilian related chemical warfare agent exposure levels for chemical and biological defense. The JPM-Decon (Decontamination Family of Systems (DFoS) Program Office) requests information on decontaminants with chemical and biological efficacy (may be addressed by separate products) comparable or superior to current decontaminants (i.e. HTH, STB, DF-200), have a reduced logistical burden, and compatibility with current applicator systems (i.e. JSTDS-SS) and common military materials (i.e. CARC, metals, plastic, and rubber). DFoS is interested in decontaminants that are currently available for delivery. Proposed decontaminants will be compared against the following criteria: * Chemical Efficacy: GD, HD, VX 99% reduction within 30 minutes * Biological efficacy following 30 minute decontaminant exposure: o Biological Endospore and Vegetative Bacteria - No Colony Forming Units (CFU) o Viruses - No Plaque Forming Units (PFU) A questionnaire is posted to the US Army RDECOM Acquisition Center, Natick Contracting Division's webpage (see link below). Please complete the questionnaire completely, and provide additional documents as specified, to explain the capabilities of the decontaminant. Additionally, please provide a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and relevant test reports and/or links to access additional information online. The questionnaire covers both chemical and biological efficacy, along with logistical parameters for the decontaminant. This RFI is issued solely for information and does not constitute a solicitation or the issuance thereof. All information received in response to this RFI that is marked proprietary will be handled accordingly. Responses to the RFI will not be returned. Responses to this RFI are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Responders are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this RFI. Vendors having products that they believe would be suitable for military decontamination operations as described herein shall submit hard copies and/or an electronic copy of the questionnaire and other documentation deemed appropriate.No telephonic responses will be considered. Interested parties shall submit the questionnaire and information directly to the DFoS Director of Programs: Victor Murphy, victor.murphy@usmc.mil ; (703) 617-2413, by September 15, 2008. An Industry Day for Decontaminants is tentatively scheduled for October, 2008. The exact date and location will be announced.
