- Description
- THIS REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) IS BEING ISSUED FOR MARKET RESEARCH AND PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. 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. The Product Manager for the Contamination Indicator and Decontamination Assurance System (CIDAS) under the Joint Project Manager for Protection (JPM P) is conducting a market survey to identify potential technologies that could benefit the Warfighter by identifying the location of mustard chemical agent (i.e. Blister-H) on military vehicles and equipment. Specifically, the CIDAS Product Manager is requesting information on: • Technologies/systems with the ability to identify and locate Blister-H contamination pre- or post-decontamination operations. • Blister-H indicator technologies/systems capable of providing a visible indication of gross and residual contamination when applied to a surface as a stand-alone technology or with a decontaminant. • The performance of Blister-H indicator technologies in the presence of field grime ("mud, blood, and crud"), other common materials encountered in the field of operations area (e.g. Petroleum, Oil, and Lubricants (POLs)), or cleaning/decontamination materials/methods. • Indicator technologies/systems sensitive enough to indicate contamination levels to that of standard fielded detectors (i.e., M8 CW Agent Detector Paper, M9 CW Agent Detector Tape, JCAD, ICAM) and be visible by the human eye or detectable/visible by a supporting technology. • Blister-H indicator technologies/systems that minimize false-positive responses to POLs, coating/sealant technologies, exhaust fumes, cleaning compounds/disinfectants, etc. • Blister-H indicator technologies/systems that minimize degradation to military equipment, its electronic and optic components, hazards to both personnel and the environment, and not produce uncontrollable residual hazards during the decontamination process. • Blister-H indicator technologies/systems that are compatible with and do not interfere with standard fielded detectors (i.e., M8 CW Agent Detector Paper, M9 CW Agent Detector Tape, JCAD, CAM, ACADA). • Blister-H indicator technologies/systems that do not degrade or affect the performance of Individual Protection Equipment (IPE) to a level of unacceptable risk, or present any uncontrolled safety hazards to personnel in appropriate Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP). The focus of this RFI is on products and/or technologies at Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 5 or above. This advanced TRL requires performance testing with surety agent (i.e. no stimulant data). Requested Information Please provide any supporting data, to include the documents specified below: 1. Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each material mixed as appropriate and ready to apply. 2. SDSs for each component of CIDAS material as manufactured and stored (if different from SDS in 1). 3. Performance and level of indication test reports with surety agent/data to support claims. 4. Timeline to manufacture production-representative systems and cost per system. Point of Contact (POC) Interested parties shall submit information in response to this RFI to: Christine Sordillo Senior Contract Specialist ACC-APG-Natick Christine.f.sordillo.civ@mail.mil Responses shall be received NLT 2pm EST 16 November 2018.
