The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular FAC 2005-53, effective July 5, 2011. This will be a full and open competition to provide a General Purpose Decontaminant for Hardened Military Equipment (GPD-HME) under NAICS code 325998 -- All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing. The small business size standard is 500 employees. Multiple awards are anticipated. The number of awards will be dependent upon the number of Offerors with qualifying products and available funds. Any contract awarded as a result of this solicitation will be a Firm Fixed Price Contract awarded using Simplified Acquisition Procedures in accordance with FAR 12. Funds are not presently available for this acquisition. No contract award will be made until appropriated funds are made available. Contract award(s) resulting from this solicitation are subject to availability of funds. The Attachments listed in this solicitation may be downloaded from the ASFI website: https://acquisition.army.mil/asfi and from the Natick Contracting Division website https://www3.natick.army.mil. The Government intends to award a contract(s) WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS with Offerors, but reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined to be necessary in the best interests of the Government. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT: The Product Manager for the Decontamination Family of Systems (DFoS) under the Joint Project Manager for Protection (JPM P) is seeking proposal responses for commercial products that have the potential to meet the performance requirements for a GPD-HME versus chemical and biological agents/contamination. The GPD-HME will provide thorough decontamination capabilities for tactical vehicles, shipboard surfaces, crew-served weapons and individual weapons exposed to chemical and biological agents/contamination. Potential solutions for GPD include, but are not limited to, liquid or solid concentrates that require dilution and solutions in ready-to-use form. The DFoS Product Manager seeks technical and cost information related to: - Commercial products with the ability to remove/neutralize chemical contamination present on HME from a starting liquid challenge of 10.0 g/m2 to a Contact Exposure Level (CEL) of less than: * Nerve G: 16.7 mg/m2 * Nerve V: 0.78 mg/m2 * Blister H: 100 mg/m2 - Commercial products with the ability to remove/neutralize chemical contamination present on HME from a starting liquid challenge of 10.0 g/m2 to Vapor Levels less than: * Nerve G: 0.1 mg/m3 * Nerve V: 0.04 mg/m3 * Blister H: 0.1 mg/m3 - Commercial products with the ability to remove/neutralize representative Biological Agents from a starting challenge of greater than 1 x 10 8 Colony Forming Units (CFU)/m2 or Plaque Forming Units (PFU)/m2 to the following residual levels: * Bacterial endospores: <100 CFU/m2 (6-log reduction) * Vegetative bacteria: <10 CFU/m2 (7-log reduction) * Viruses: <10 PFU/m2 (7-log reduction) - Commercial products capable of decontaminating Toxic Industrial Chemicals/Materials (TICs/TIMs), radiological contamination and/or Non-Traditional Agents (NTA). - Commercial products which may be applied to contaminated material/equipment surfaces by field expedient applicators, such as mops and brushes and capable of removing gross contamination within thirty (30) minutes following application. - Commercial products which are non-hazardous, non-flammable and inherently safe. Products that minimize hazards to both personnel and the environment, and that do not produce uncontrollable residual hazards during the decontamination process. - Commercial products which do not cause material/equipment degradation when used to decontaminate HME. - Commercial products which do not cause false positives/negatives for fielded tactical detectors. - Commercial products which do not degrade military relevant Individual Protection Equipment (IPE) or the effectiveness or ability of existing decontamination systems. - Commercial products which are efficacious for at least six (6) hours after being made ready for use and which have at least a five-year (5-yr) shelf life in storage. Each GPD-HME, in its designed configuration of components, must perform the functions necessary for successful completion of the GPD-HME mission, meet all of the physical characteristic requirements in the Performance Specification (PSPEC) (Attachment 3). This includes decontaminating chemical and biological agents on hardened military equipment to the specified efficacy levels and applicator compatibility, transportability, coverage area, etc. requirements. Potential solutions for GPD-HME include, but are not limited to, liquid or solid concentrates that require dilution and solutions in ready-to-use form. Applications of GPD-HME may be single or multiple pending vendor specifications. The unit of measure in this solicitation assumes a ready-to-use formulation and a single surface application. The unit of measure in this solicitation is gallons (Gal). If the Offeror proposes a non-liquid solution, the offeror may propose quantities that will convert to the quantity in gallons specified in this solicitation, which shall convert into a ready-to-use product for a single surface application necessary to decontaminate equipment as specified in the PSPEC.
