- Description
- Request for Information: The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), Research and Development, Chemical and Biological Technologies, J9CB, is seeking information from respondents who possess the capability to address modeling and simulation of contact hazard and long-term environmental fate of agents on several operationally relevant substrates by enhancing existing models and/or through establishing new approaches. The requirements will include: 1) Increased fidelity of the current DREAM V2 model (Droplet Reaction and Evaporation of Agents Model) by development and demonstration of a complete set of models for characterizing chemical agent fate of both traditional and non-traditional chemical warfare agents, including long term environmental response and evaporative/contact hazards in operationally relevant conditions; 2) Incorporation of additional non-traditional agent (NTA) data into the Defense Technology Objective (DTO) Environmental Fate of Agents database; 3) Completion of verification and validation of the DREAM V2 model for droplet contact angle and spread against experimental data for two high priority NTAs to demonstrate that the framework developed to model agent fate of traditional agents will also work for non-traditional agents; 4) Full integration of the DREAM V2 module into the Joint Effects Model S&T Prototype/Hazard Prediction and Assessment Capability (JSTP/HPAC) and the Joint Effects Model (JEM), including developing interfaces such that DREAM V2 is compliant with the Common CBRN Modeling Interface (CCMI). Respondents also shall include a description of their ability to maintain labor categories possessing minimum SECRET-level security clearances available to support a program of this nature. Response Instructions: All submitted information shall be UNCLASSIFIED; do not submit any CLASSIFIED information in response to this notice. Respondents shall address the information described above (and any additional information the respondent should deem appropriate) via a Capabilities Statement (three-page limit) in Microsoft Word format and a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (five-slide limit). A rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost estimate for the services outlined above over a three-year period also shall be provided. In addition, respondents shall include their name, address, CAGE code, and DUNS; provide the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code that is most appropriate for these services and state why it is most appropriate; submit company size standard under the suggested NAICS code. The information shall be submitted via e-mail to rick.fry@dtra.mil with a cc: to ryan.verespie@dtra.mil. Hard copy submissions will not be accepted. Submissions shall be submitted by no later than 2:00 pm local Ft. Belvoir time on April 1, 2015.
