Description

THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY for non-commercial wipe technologies which are capable of meeting the basic requirements described below. This is not a Request for Quotation (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB). It is a market research tool being used to determine the availability and adequacy of potential sources for planning purposes only. Responses to this notice are not considered as offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of responses nor otherwise pay for the preparation of any information presented or the use of any such information. Vendors who were awardees under solicitations W911QY-12-R-0006 and W911QY-13-R-0022 for the Joint Service Equipment Wipe should not submit those products in response to this RFI. REQUESTED INFORMATION The Product Manager for the Decontamination Family of Systems (DFoS) under the Joint Project Manager for Protection (JPM P) is conducting a market survey to identify non-commercial wipe technologies that will provide immediate/operational decontamination capabilities for sensitive and non-sensitive equipment in hostile and non-hostile environments that have been exposed to chemical agents/contamination. Specifically, the DFoS Product Manager is requesting information on technologies that possess the following characteristics: 1.Products with the ability to decrease the level of gross chemical agent contamination from 10 g/m2 to 1 g/m2 in support of thorough decontamination on sensitive and non-sensitive equipment. 2.Products that can be applied directly to equipment surfaces and capable of removing gross contamination within five minutes following application. 3.Products available in durable packaging that can be easily opened by a Warfighter wearing Mission-Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) 4. 4.Products that are non-hazardous, non-flammable and inherently safe, minimizing hazards to both personnel and the environment, and that do not produce uncontrollable residual hazards during the decontamination process. 5.Products that do not cause material/equipment degradation when used to decontaminate sensitive and non-sensitive equipment. 6.Products that do not cause false positives/negatives for fielded tactical detectors. 7.Products that do not degrade military relevant Individual Protection Equipment (IPE) or the effectiveness or ability of fielded decontamination products. The focus of this RFI is on products and/or technologies at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5-6 (as listed by the Chemical Biological Defense Program (CBDP) Technology Transition Handbook; 20 July 2005), which requires testing with chemical agents. Interested parties shall respond by specifying if they have the following information for their products: 1.Performance and Efficacy Test Data including but not limited to: (a)Chemical surety agent data (e.g. residual agent data and contact hazard) (b)Material/equipment compatibility data (c)Shelf life 2.Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) 3.Environment, Safety and Occupational Health 4.Coverage Area 5.Instructions for Use (i.e. vendor proposed Concept of Operation) 6.Restrictions on Storage/Transportation 7.Restrictions on operations in varying environmental conditions (MIL-STD-810G) 8.Manufacturing/Production Maturity (e.g. a self-assessment of Manufacturing Maturity Level (MRL) based on the MRL definitions found in the Department of Defense (DoD) MRL Deskbook V2.2 July 2012) If the product has test data and reports on any of the above items, vendors shall submit a short summary (no more than 3 pages) describing their products' capabilities in these areas. Vendors shall also note if the supporting test data and reports substantiating product claims and capabilities are currently available in-house (i.e. the vendor is in possession of the test data and reports), or will be available in-house by the end of this calendar year, and would be able to provide them as part of a Request for Proposal if one is issued.
