Description
The U.S. Army Armament Research and Development Command (ARDEC), located at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ, is seeking capabilities statements from firms that can provide technical advancement in developing NightMarker nighttime covert marking materials to increase operational life beyond two (2) months (to an objective 6 months life) and to provide water resistance such that the solution will not wash away or degrade in terms of fluorescence intensity/range of detection (50m minimum) after heavy rain. It is desired to achieve this goal without compromising the spectral integrity of the materials to ensure optimal opeartional effectiveness. Additionally, it is preferred that the solution be comprised of both day and nighttime detection capabilities and be applied in a simple effective manner. To achieve this, NightMarker will work to combine both day and night solutions developed, again without jeopardizing the operational effectiveness of the solutions as they are individually. The product and process of deployment shall be examined to improve the efficiency of deploying large quantities of the solution over large battlefield areas (square kilometers). One gallon of the improved solution shall be delivered at completion of the effort for Government evaluation. The contractor shall also provide a milestone delivery schedule to meet potential Army needs of a total of 1,000 gallons of the solution delivered within a maximum of 3 months after order placement. This effort is essential to provide the warfighter with convenience of both day and night solutions for visual detection. The required research will help identify a technology solution that can be easy to apply, long lasting, environmentally stable, and provide detection from a safe stand off distance of 50+ meters. This Market Survey is for information and planning purposes only, and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP). This Market Survey is not to be construed as a commitment by the U. S. Government. If a formal solicitation is generated at a later date, a solicitation notice will be published. No award will be made as a result of this Market Survey. All information is to be submitted at no cost or obligation to the Government. The Government reserves the right to reject, in whole or in part, any private sector input as a result of this Market Survey. Respondents will not be notified of the results of this survey or results of information submitted. Please submit your responses NLT 1500hrs (3:00 PM) EST, 23 November 2009. Interested parties are requested to submit a detailed description of their services along with other available information (i.e. brochures) that describe current capability to: Miss Kristen M. Ryback via email only to kristen.ryback@us.army.mil.
