- Description
- The Army Contracting Command -Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) Contracting Center, Natick Contracting Division, Natick, MA, in support of the Joint Program Manager for Protection (JPM P) and the Decontamination Family of Systems (DFoS) Program, hereby issues a Draft Request for Proposal (RFP) in advance of the Pre-solicitation Conference for the General Purpose Decontaminant(s) (GPD) scheduled to be held on 16 November 2011. This is a draft RFP made available for comment prior to the Pre-solicitation Conference. This is not a solicitation and no proposals are requested at this time. The intent of this acquisition effort is to rapidly field a GPD that will provide thorough decontamination capabilities for tactical vehicles, shipboard surfaces, crew-served weapons, and individual/personal weapons, in hostile and non-hostile environments, that have been exposed to chemical agents/contamination thereby reducing health risk to friendly forces and non-combatants from CBRN contaminated assets. In addition, it is desired that GPD also provide an immediate/operational decontamination capability for aircraft exterior against chemical contamination. An iterative Government evaluation process, combined with vendor-conducted product modification, will provide Government design control after Milestone (MS) B, and is key to ensuring integration of the GPD into Decontamination Family of Systems (DFoS). The GPD is considered to be a stand-alone capability. Proposed decontaminants will be compared against the following criteria: - Provides chemical efficacy test data (live agent or simulant) for candidate against Nerve-G, Nerve-V and/or Blister-H; and/or biological efficacy test data (live agent or simulant) against bacterial endospores, vegetative bacteria, and viruses. - Provides complete Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and System Safety Assessment (SSA), which clearly identifies hazards (controllable and uncontrollable), active and inactive ingredients, product restrictions, and known safety hazards. - Provides an analysis that clearly defines technology's compatibility with equipment, as defined in the GPD Performance Specification. The draft RFP and associated attachments can be accessed from the solicitation link on this page or can be downloaded from the Natick Contracting Division website link below. This announcement is not a request for proposals and in no way commits the Government to award a contract. No solicitation exists at this time. The announcement number W911QY-12-R-0007 will be the controlling document and the Government is in no way liable to pay for or reimburse companies or entities that respond in any way to this Draft RFP. The Government has announced a pre-solicitation conference for interested parties on 16 November 2011. Questions received at least three (3) business days prior to the pre-solicitation conference will be addressed during the conference. The full announcement for the pre-proposal conference and registration information is available on the Federal Business Opportunities website at https://www.fbo.gov under announcement number W911QY-12-R-0007. Questions regarding this Draft RFP will only be accepted in writing via e-mail to jean.greenwood@us.army.mil with a courtesy to peter.wallace@us.army.mil.
