Description:  Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), operated by Battelle Memorial Institute under contract to the U.S. Department of Energy, solicits interest from companies that may be interested in entering into a cost-shared  Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) associated with a biological decontamination project currently funded by the Global Initiatives for Proliferation Prevention (GIPP) Program. This project is funded by DOE and a matching company cost share is required. Details of the cost share expectations can be provided by PNNL. The project objective is to identify the scope of capabilities of a volumetric decontamination system with contaminants of different origins (e.g., vegetative microbial and fungal cells and spores, and viruses); to elucidate a mechanism of a biocidal effect caused by the aerosol (fog) of electro chemically-activated solutions; to examine the toxicity of electro-activated solutions in aerosol form; to examine the suitability of the decontamination system, evaluate associated application methods, and performance for application to building decontamination. The decontamination scenarios to be evaluated include lab scale decontamination, and large area (room-size) decontamination. Preexisting intellectual property associated with this decontamination technology will be brought into this CRADA activity.  Note: The GIPP program is a U.S. DOE/NNSA national security program whose  mission is to reduce the threat of weapons of mass destruction proliferation. It strives to stabilize institutes, personnel and technology formerly dedicated to developing and manufacturing weapons of mass destruction in the successor states (New Independent States) of the former Soviet Union (FSU NIS).  The program addresses proliferation risks through laboratory-to-laboratory cooperative research and development projects in the FSU NIS and commercial technology development projects involving partners from U.S. industry. US industry partners need to be members of USIC  and approved by GIPP/DOE for the CRADA. GIPP projects support weapons scientists and institutes in the NIS that are suffering economically, through joint collaboration on non-defense related research and employment in support of U.S. nonproliferation objectives. These projects identify technologies for commercialization that have market potential for profit both to the U.S. and NIS. Partner collaborations are formed by U.S. National Laboratories between U.S. Industry (the Industry Partner) and NIS Institutes, with the expectation that profitable IPP-commercialized projects will facilitate economic development in the NIS. One of the principal mechanisms for federal laboratories to engage in collaborative efforts with non-federal partners and achieve the goals of technology transfer is through CRADAs. The CRADA, which is not an acquisition or procurement vehicle, is designed to be a relatively easy mechanism to implement. The CRADA is intended to take into account the needs and desires of private industry when commercializing a product.
