- Description
- The Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical Biological Defense (JPEO-CBD), Joint Project Manager for Protection (JPM P) requests information from industry regarding its capability to conduct biological decontamination of military cargo aircraft. Specific information is sought for industry solutions that are capable of thorough biological decontamination of the interior and exterior of cargo aircraft, e.g. the US Air Force C-130 Hercules, without equipment degradation. Responses should include all equipment, technology or components and instructions necessary to effectively conduct biological decontamination operations as well as contain the decontamination process (i.e. run-off, contaminants). Designs may be stand-alone, or integrate with existing military structures. The logistics impact (e.g. number of personnel, types of material handling equipment, special tools or procedures and time required to set up and operate the system, power, maintenance and transportability requirement/restrictions) must be considered and should be discussed in the response. To maximize flexibility and affordability, it is desired that systems also be capable of delivering decontamination technologies to address thorough chemical agent decontamination as well as the capability to allow for decontamination of additional airframes or other platforms. This RFI is issued solely for the purpose of gathering information and does not constitute a solicitation or the issuance thereof. All information received in response to this RFI that is marked proprietary will be handled accordingly. Responses to the RFI will not be returned. Responses to this RFI are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Responders are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this RFI. It is requested that vendors having systems that they believe would be suitable for military cargo aircraft decontamination operations as described herein submit hard copies and/or an electronic copy of any available product data sheets, related brochures, descriptions, price lists, technical/operator manual(s), test reports, associated Material Safety Data Sheets, or other documentation as available and deemed appropriate. No telephonic responses will be considered. Responses should include as much of the following information as available: -Manufacturer -Size Status (Small or Large) of Manufacturer with respect to a standard of 500 employees -Product name -Estimated unit cost for a complete system -Product description to include: Decontamination technology(ies) and Material Safety Data Sheets (if applicable) Transportability requirements Storage/shipping configuration Power source, fuel consumption Set up time and procedures (to include number of personnel and equipment) Modes of operation (e.g. temperature settings, decontamination technology) Safety features (e.g. emergency shutdown) System ability to be decontaminated and associated procedures System parameters that can be either monitored or controlled Operating temperature and/or environmental restrictions Specifications of major components (e.g. size, weight, optional or required for system operation) Identification of all consumables for normal system operation Manpower requirements to include: oNumber of personnel required to operate system oNumber of personnel required to setup and teardown system Reliability assessment and how determined Manufacturer production capability, include maximum and minimum production rates Identify if the system is currently being used by commercial industry or government, provide names for examples of users Test data/reports to include: Performance data on against bacterial endospores, or relevant simulants, starting from a 1.0x108 Colony Forming Unit (CFU) challenge Performance data against vegetative bacteria, or relevant simulants, starting from a 1.0x108 CFU challenge Performance data against viruses, or relevant simulants, starting from a 1.0x108 Plaque Forming Unit challenge Material compatibility of the proposed decontaminants with relevant military surfaces such as, but not limited to, Steel, Aluminum, Anti-Skid Patches on 2024-T3 Aluminum, Water-based Aircraft Performance Coating on 2024-T3 Aluminum, Nylon webbing, Insulfab, and Wiring Insulation. Please include test plans and/or procedures associated with the above test data Interested parties should submit information no later than January 30, 2015 directly to the Joint Biological Aircraft Decontamination System Product Manager - Mr. Stephen Beaudoin, U.S. Army Natick Soldier RD&E Center, Attn: RDNS-STT, Kansas Street, Natick, MA 01760-5018. Email your questions to Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground, Natick Contracting Division at Christine.f.sordillo.civ@mail.mil. Please reference the Request for Information posting number in the subject line of your inquiry.
